Love can make even the most buttoned-up bluestocking come undoneโฆ
London, 1885
A lesbian in a lavender marriage, Jo Smith cuts a dashing figure in pin-striped trousers, working in her bookshop and keeping impolite company. But her hard-earned stability is about to be upended thanks to her husbandโs pregnant paramour, who needs medical attention that no reputable doctor will provide.
Enter Dr. Emily Clarke, a tantalizing bluestocking working at a quaint village hospital outside the city. Emily has reservations about getting mixed up in Joโs scandalous arrangement, but her flustered, heart-racing response to Jo has her agreeing to help despite herself.
Thereโs a world of difference between Joโs community of underground clubs and sapphic societies and Emilyโs respectable suburbs. Perhaps itโs a gap that even fervent desire canโt bridge.
But for those bold enough to take the risk, who knows what delicious adventures might be in storeโฆ
