Rich and beautiful beyond compare, Miss Juliet Wynne is the darling of society. Little does anybody suspect that behind those turquoise eyes dwells a genial mind dedicated to astronomy. Repelled by dull suitors that line up to recite poetry to her, she is fully contented with never marrying. Until she meets the broad-shouldered war-veteran with eyes like moonbeams who defies all her prejudice.

Beneath the elegant gowns, she is still a tomboy caught in society’s expectations and she prefers to immerse herself in science, observing the universe, and fencing with her beloved brother. When she dresses up as a man to be able to attend a scientific lecture, she is caught by the one man who piques her interest.

Privileged and brilliant, fellow astronomer, Lord Giles Whysleigh hides his tender heart behind a facade of arrogance and propriety. Although deep down a romantic, he takes pride in his conservative self-control.

The burning passion that unexpectedly flares up between them takes them both by surprise. Secure in the loving support of her boisterous, avant-garde family, Juliet dreads losing control. She must learn that change is inevitable and Lord Giles must overcome his own preconceptions to let go of his inhibitions and win her trust.

Cleverly mixing science, farce, and sex, this fairytale romance connects the dots between astronomy and Shakespeare, weaving an original drama of fear, family, and a love larger than life.

The fourth Regency Tale is a relatable story of vulnerability and fear of change told with warmth and humour filled with homely feel-good. Author Maria Yrsa Rönneus takes us to the year 1818, to an England still reeling in the aftermath of the many years of war. Against a backdrop of political tensions, societal pressure, and the opulence of the British aristocracy, this unusual woman and this powerful man orbit each other like twin stars.
