It's the worst idea Kate Weatherby has ever had.
Back when Kate and her sisters were penniless and despised as the Weatherby Wallflowers, they made a pact to apply for whatever respectable positions they could find. Now, one of the employers who initially rejected Kate, an academic at the University of Edinburgh looking for a scientific illustrator, has written back, eager to hire her.
There's just one problem.
The holder of the position must be enrolled at the University, which does not admit women. Kate knows that donning breeches and trying to pass herself off as a young man is a terrible idea. But the sting of her father stealing credit for her illustrations has never faded. Yearning to see if she can succeed in the scientific world on her own merits, Kate accepts the position and heads north to Scotland.
One problem? Make that two.
It's hard enough passing herself off as "Kit Witherspoon." But the naturalist who hired Kate, Nathaniel Sterling, isn't the fusty old professor she imagined. Oh, no—Nathaniel is young, kind, brilliantly clever, and heart-stoppingly handsome in precisely the tweedy way Kate finds irresistible.
And, to make matters worse, an opportunity has just arisen—a trip to the Outer Hebrides, to document the flora and fauna particular to the islands. Nathaniel and Kate will be going alone.
And, academic budgets being what they are, they're expected to share a room.
