Beneath a Brighton Sun (Love’s Journey #4)

“You’re imagining me in my bathing costume,” he said with irritating accuracy.

A LADY OF SCIENCE
Bluestocking Eloise Corbyn has always dreamed of recognition for her geological discoveries, but the scientific world isn’t ready to accept a woman’s theories—yet. With her latest geological research demanding perfection, she can ill afford distractions. But when her father requests she entertain his long-time protégé during a seaside fossil hunting party, she cannot resist—despite their sharp-tongued rivalry.

A MAN OF AMBITION
Land speculator Archer Vale has spent years building his fortune, determined to rise above his questionable origins. With plans for a fashionable hotel on England’s southern shore, he’s nearly attained the place in society he’s always craved. He has no time for a holiday, but when his mentor asks him to escort the man’s daughter to a fossil hunting party, he resigns himself to the task. After all, he owes Harry Corbyn everything.

WHAT LIES BENEATH IS DEEPER THAN BEDROCK
Archer and Eloise’s familiar sparring soon gives way to stolen moments during seaside strolls and fossil digs. Against the dramatic backdrop of Brighton’s windswept cliffs and fashionable promenades, they unearth a love that threatens everything they’ve worked to achieve. But when Eloise’s scientific dreams collide with Archer’s ambitions, each must choose what matters most. Will Eloise sacrifice her chance at recognition to protect the man she’s always loved? And will he abandon his ambitions to preserve the discoveries that mean everything to her?
