Never Doubt a Viscount - Paperback

♥ A sexy scientist

♥ A nearsighted wallflower

♥ A matchmaking mama

♥ A Royal Society ball

♥ Steamy romance!

Another irresistible romance featuring New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal's "outrageously funny, loyal, compassionate, and unconventional" Chase family!

The Ashcroft family motto is "Question Convention," and eldest sister Lady Violet agrees with the sentiment completely. For one thing, she's not planning to marry. Plain Violet is smart enough to realize any suitors would be after her large inheritance, or else interested in her beautiful younger sisters-and she'd much rather spend her time reading her beloved books than risking her tender heart...

Ford Chase, the Viscount Lakefield, has never spent much time around children...until he finds his young niece dropped in his lap. Although five-year-old Jewel is adorable, she's also an annoying, unwelcome distraction from his scientific pursuits. Lucky for Ford, the matchmaking matriarch next door comes to his rescue-by sending her uncommonly intelligent daughter Violet to help...
