An Inventor and An Inconvenience by Wendy May Andrews

Between ballrooms and classrooms, hearts defy the gears of convention

Lord Jasper Linford, a third son with meager expectations of inheritance, dreams of a mechanical revolution that will change not only the mining industry but also secure his place in his father’s heart. Jasper sets out to create technology to transform the marquess’ ore-rich lands.
Faith Somerton, the daughter of an Oxford professor, thirsts for knowledge forbidden to her. While she’s had access to her father’s library, her dreams of attending university have remained unfulfilled. Her deepest desire is to break down the barriers of privilege and gender and make education accessible to all, especially underprivileged children and young girls.
As Jasper and Faith’s paths collide, their shared ambitions ignite a passionate partnership and an unbreakable bond. But in a society that seeks to keep them apart and in a race against time to bring their inventions to life, they must navigate the intricate dance of love, dreams, and the pursuit of a brighter future.
