I Thee Wed

by Celeste Bradley

Overview

From the New York Times bestselling author of With This Ring comes a Wicked Worthington novel of love that defies reason...

Intelligent and driven, Orion Worthington aspired to be like his mentor, the acclaimed scientist Sir Geoffrey Blayne. Logically, Sir Geoffrey’s daughter would be Orion’s perfect match. So why can’t he keep his mind off the unruly girl who works in Sir Geoffrey’s lab? 

Orphaned fire-cracker Francesca Penrose hopes that London is modern enough to accept her brilliant mind despite her womanhood. But she can’t help noticing Orion’s mind...or his body.

So they decide to run an experiment: if they give in to their passions, their attraction will simply fizzle out, with no impact on their hearts...right?

Editorial Reviews

★ 03/28/2016
Bradley delivers her trademark passion with a side of comedy in the fourth Wicked Worthingtons Regency (after When She Said “I Do”). Francesca Penrose is a young, promising biologist caught between two worlds: too English for the Italian side of her family, and too free-spirited for the stodgy uncle and cousin she’s now visiting in England. When Orion Worthington, another blossoming scientist, arrives to take a position as her uncle’s research assistant, it looks like the household has acquired yet another too-serious, stiffly mannered bore. But Orion is fleeing family discord of his own, trying to rise above his family’s reputation for poverty, shenanigans, and close brushes with scandal. Despite mutual resolutions to resist their lustful urges, the two find themselves driven together by the oddities of their shared household and the machinations of Orion’s delightfully and chaotically precocious youngest sister. The romance plot isn’t eclipsed by the family antics and period-accurate science (complete with a cook who keeps threatening to stew the rabbits that Francesca experiments on), and it’s greatly enhanced by the richly detailed setting and well-rounded secondary characters. This hugely fun novel is charming and delightful the whole way through. Agent: Irene Goodman, Irene Goodman Literary. (May)
