The sum of all kisses | julia quinn

The third book in the Smythe-Smith Quartet, a dazzlingly witty series by the bestselling author of Bridgerton.

Hugh Prentice has never had patience for dramatic females, and if Lady Sarah Pleinsworth has ever been acquainted with the words shy or retiring, shes long since tossed them out the window.

Besides, a reckless duel has left this brilliant mathematician with a ruined leg, and now he could never court a woman like Sarah, much less dream of marrying her.

Sarah has never forgiven Hugh for the duel he fought that nearly destroyed her family.

But even if she could find a way to forgive him, it wouldnt matter.

She doesnt care that his leg is less than perfect, its his personality she cant abide.

But forced to spend a week in close company they discover that first impressions are not always reliable.

And when one kiss leads to two, three, and four, the mathematician may lose count, and the lady may, for the first time, find herself speechless .
