To Sin With A Scoundrel: Number 1 in series [Mass Market Paperback] Elliott, Cara

A bluestocking scientist and a notorious rake locked in a battle of wits — with sparks flying in every direction. When Lady Ciara Sheffield's latest experiment explodes (literally), she needs a test subject for her research on the male animal. Enter the Earl of Hadley, London's most infamous scoundrel, who makes a wager he's sure he'll win: prove her theories wrong while seducing the maddening miss in the process. But Ciara's not some wilting wallflower, and she's conducting experiments of her own. What starts as intellectual combat becomes something far more dangerous when attraction enters the equation. Elliott crafts a Regency romp with genuine chemistry, sharp banter, and a heroine who holds her own against a hero used to getting his way. For readers who like their historical romance witty, steamy, and refreshingly smart.
