I am currently reading Violet by Lauren Royal.
"Question convention." It's an Ashcroft family
motto--and it's something eldest daughter, Violet, has
been doing a lot of lately. For starters, she's
decided not to get married--she'd much rather be
improving her mind then losing her heart. Especially
since most suitors would surely have their eyes on her
considerable inheritance or on her ravishing younger
sisters--not on her plain face....
Violet is convinced her very eligible neighbor, Ford
Chase, is no exception. He's handsome, intelligent,
even a little bit eccentric--his obsessions with
astronomy, and constructing a watch are most puzzling
indeed! Violet can't deny she's intrigued. But could
he ever really--sincerely--be interested in a woman as
sersious and self-conscious as she?
