Synopsis

An heiress, an obligation, and an unfortunate love for physics, fossils, dead fish, and . . . ladies?

"At once the easiest truth to know, and the hardest to realize"

Thea Morell, Georgian heiress and eligible lady, is not normal. At least, that's what she has come to believe. She loves nothing more than spending hours at the study of natural history, collecting fossils, insects, dead fish, bones, and even the odd spider. Up to now, she has held off her mother's entreaties to marry, but this year may be her last chance to make a good match and the pressure is mounting.

In her search for scientific truth, Thea also begins to acknowledge a truth about herself—a most inconvenient one which sparks at the lips of the 'electrical venus' and bursts into flame in the presence of the very proper Lady Eleanor Harrington. Despite her attempts to observe and understand, this particular truth defies all rationalization. Has her obsession with the male-dominated world of natural history caused the unnatural tendencies she can't seem to control? And more importantly, can she protect her family's interests whilst reconciling the dual passions of her mind and her heart?

About Suzanne Moss

Suzanne Moss is a horticultural education professional and researcher in eighteenth-century gardens and collections. The history of gardens as scientific collections is a particular interest and was the subject of her PhD and subsequent post-doctorate research fellowship. The history of sexuality has become a recent fascination while trying to write. A background in both archaeology and horticulture means she can dig a really excellent hole, both literally and metaphorically.

Sue lives in Hampshire, United Kingdom with her wife, Milly, and dogs, Wilma and Pheebs. She is originally from Yorkshire and misses it. In her spare time, she's renovating a house, doing the garden, and writing books-it really sounds quite wholesome doesn't it.

She finds writing about herself in the third person weird.
