The Beastly Bluestocking (Bluestocking Club #7)

Arabella Betez, ensnared by self-imposed isolation, recoils from the world's judgment, retreating from loved ones and servants alike. Michael Follett, tasked with serving her, seeks only to fulfil his duties in the face of her disdain. Yet, as their encounters increase, he glimpses the person beyond her scars, despite his own reservations. When Arabella's former love reappears, seeking forgiveness, their lives intertwine in unforeseen ways, altering their futures irreversibly. Despite their differences in station, Arabella and Michael find themselves swept into a journey of transformation. As the once reclusive Arabella finds solace in the presence of her unlikely confidant, and as Michael grapples with his own emotions, they realise that their encounter has shifted the trajectory of their lives. Arabella comes to see that hiding away is untenable, and a new chapter begins for her. As she confronts the challenges that lie ahead, her courage redefines her life in ways she never imagined possible. But as she bravely steps into the light, can Michael remain at her side?
