A Chemist and A Companion by Wendy May Andrews

When handsome scientists and High Society collide, chemistry is sure to follow…

Miss Adriana Adams is about to lose her position as paid companion. Fear for the future of her dependent family makes it hard to concentrate on finding a new position while still attending to her current duties. Meeting the handsome chemist inventing the most divine perfumes is only adding to her difficulties.
Viscount Severn relies on his chemistry compounds for both spending money and distraction. His uncle’s efforts to disinherit him by siring a son has only resulted in strained relations, seven sweet female cousins, and two dead aunts. What Ellis doesn’t need is the distraction of yet another female, even if this one is a lovely but timid woman nearly as fascinated by his science as he is.
