The second book in the “Dukes of War” Regency Romance series, “The Captain’s Bluestocking Mistress (Dukes of War Book 2)
Defined as an educated, intellectual woman, more specifically a member of the 18th-century Blue Stockings Society, the “bluestocking” though not a social pariah, is not popular among the beau monde for the main reason that as erudite women they are at least 100 years ahead of their time.
This is the scenario where author Erica Ridley put the heroine Jane Downing. Feeling more ignored and very alone ever since her best friend got married, Jane very much wants to have an affair with a hot blooded man.
Setting her sights on war hero Captain Xavier Grey, Jane planned an elaborate seduction. And with the weather cooperating, Jane and Xavier found themselves alone for three days at Capt. Grey’s house during a snowstorm.
Now, the question is, how does an innocent plan a seduction? And how far can she go before the very sophisticated Captain Grey figure out what she was up to?
