When her student goes missing, an independent bluestocking must seek the help of the arrogant duke who spurned her in this sizzling tale of romance and intrigue, perfect for fans of Netflix's Bridgerton series

Phoebe Atkinson is what society might call unconventional. Instead of marrying well like other women born to wealth, she chose to be a schoolteacher. Not to mention she lives in a leaky flat in an unfashionable part of town rather than stay in her parents’ mansion. But when her most promising pupil goes missing and the police ignore her, she has only one beg her sister’s best friend, the powerful Duke of Ellis, for help. If sending him a message from the police station doesn’t get his attention, nothing will.

The last thing William Margrave ever expected was to inherit a dukedom. But now that he has it, he’s determined to act the part perfectly—and that includes marrying the perfect duchess. A bluestocking Bohemian schoolteacher is decidedly not duchess material. But he can’t resist her plea for help regarding her missing student. As they fall further into the mystery, William discovers two that he never really got over his childhood crush on Phoebe, and he doesn’t really want to.

I'll be picking this one up sometime early next week.

Still planning to read this one sometime in the next week.

Started this one last night. It's fun so far, I'm only five or six chapters in. (view spoiler)[ I'm enjoying Phoebe and the Duke alot and the element of mystery with the missing student. Very curious to see where it goes. (hide spoiler)]

Chapters 7-16
(view spoiler)[
I love Phoebe and Will together, their chemistry is amazing and I'm really enjoying both of these side plots. I'm definitely going to read more by this author I love her style. And damn Phoebe just inviting him up like that, I love it but was not expecting it at all.

Chapters 17 - 24
(view spoiler)[ Okay, I love her sister, Alex is amazing. Buying all of his debts like that was brilliant. I wish Phoebe would give her more credit. Also silly Will getting all hung up on marrying for Cal and meanwhile he's like I don't even remember that so chill. The garden hook up was excellent, and I'm so glad Phoebe wasn't ruined or forced into marriage with Will. I'm also happy Alice is okay and Maude is out from under Fairbanks.

Finished
(view spoiler)[
This was excellent. I loved seeing Will come into his own and realize that he didn't have to prove himself. Having him go over to the right side and do what he actually cares about was great. And also thrilled that the school is reopening and that Maude agreed to consult so they can ensure it's a worthwhile and useful education. I would not say no to more books about these sisters.
