Regency romance with a dash of natural science.
If you're a fan of historical romance with a smart, scientific twist, "Love, Lords and Lady-Birds" may be just your type of read. You'll immerse yourself in a setting where societal norms meet curious intellects, a nod to the nature-loving gentlewomen and gentlemen of the time. It's a refreshing take on the genre that entwines love and lepidopterology—the study of butterflies—promising a journey as intricate and beautiful as the patterns on a ladybird's wings.
Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
