A Lady's Formula for Love by Elizabeth Everett

Between contending with sabotage attempts on her work and keeping up the appearance of propriety to protect her beloved club, the last thing Violet needs is to let the 'instantaneous, primal attraction' between her and Arthur cloud her judgement. When Omnium brings a devastating new chemical weapon to their riots, the Crown tasks Violet with developing an antidote, and her stepson, Grey, hires protection officer Arthur Kneland to keep her safe as she completes the formula. Meanwhile, Omnium Democratia, an illegal workers' organization demanding suffrage for all men, grows increasingly radical and violent. In 1842 England, Lady Violet Hughes runs Athena's Retreat, a secret club of eccentric and groundbreaking female scientists. Author NotesĮverett debuts with an enjoyable feminist romance between a widowed viscountess and her bodyguard. When a shadowy threat infiltrates Violet's laboratories, endangering her life and her work, scientist and bodyguard will find all their theories put to the test-and learn that the most important discoveries are those of the heart. But the more time he spends in the company of Violet and the eccentric club members, the more his best intentions go up in flames. Solitary and reserved, Arthur learned the hard way to put duty first. But the biggest secret of all? Her feelings for protection officer Arthur Kneland. Second, she is using her genius on a confidential mission for the Crown.

First, she founded a clandestine sanctuary for England's most brilliant female scientists. Heat over the warmth of humor and friendship, and the result is more than simple chemistry-it's elemental.

Add in a measure of danger and attraction. What is a Victorian lady's formula for love? Mix one brilliant noblewoman and her enigmatic protection officer.
