Agent: Ann Leslie Tuttle, Dystel, Goderich & Bourret. Everett’s third novel in The Secret Scientists Of London series. Ambitions are threatened and romantic sparks sizzle in, A PERFECT EQUATION, Ms. The supporting cast of brilliant but bumbling scientists adds some levity, and the characters’ intense chemistry keeps the pages flying. Author Elizabeth Everett Release Date FebruPublisher Berkley ISBN/ASIN 9780593200643. The pair’s tentative truce leads to some tender and steamy moments-the latter of which, while tantalizing, can feel a bit too abrupt-but their conflicting goals plus Greycliff’s godfather’s objections to their match may mean an end to their happily ever after. Letty, in turn, breaks down Greycliff’s walls, discovering gentility, empathy toward others, and curiosity about the work being done by the women of Athena’s Retreat. But now that they’re working closely to safeguard Athena’s Retreat, Greycliff realizes he’s misjudged Letty, coming to see the softness beneath her resilient exterior and falling for her sharp wit and unyielding determination. Letty was ostracized by Lord William Hughes, Viscount Greycliff, as well as the rest of high society when she was caught in a compromising position with his cousin. Everett’s enchanting sequel to A Lady’s Formula for Love finds mathematician Leticia “Letty” Fenley reluctantly agreeing to oversee Athena’s Retreat, a secret haven for Victorian England’s female scientists, but her good intentions are soured by the unwanted help of a troublesome viscount.
