From New York Times bestseller, Suzanne Enoch, Brain meets Beauty in this sparkling romantic comedy with a dash of chaos, featuring the worst behaved poodles in Regency London; Bringing Up Baby meet Pride and Prejudice!

Michael Bromley, Duke of Woriton, has a passion, but it’s not for chasing ladies or gambling till dawn. No, his far more dangerous pursuit is the science of chemistry. He may be a tad eccentric, but he can navigate a society ballroom, and manage a polite conversation—if he must. He’s certainly capable of taking care of his aunt’s perfectly behaved poodle, Lancelot, while she’s on holiday.

Elizabeth “Bitsy” Dockering, third daughter of a viscount, is the Diamond of the London . She is adored by all— including her precious black poodle, Galahad. To everyone else, however, Galahad is a terror, especially to Bitsy’s most insistent beau. A particular victim of Galahad’s bad manners, he's hired a minion to steal the fluffy Hell Hound, clearing the way for an uninterrupted courtship.

But none of them can plan for a chaotic encounter in the park, resulting in lost notes, a soaking in the Serpentine, and the inept dognapper's confusion between Lancelot and Galahad!

Determined to find the poodle, Michael doesn’t need a frivolous heiress interfering with his logical plans; but to his surprise, Bitsy is resourceful and clever. What he forgets is that chemistry is all about attraction; and this partnership of opposites is one romantically combustible formula. Still, what’s a scientist to do but continue to pursue an outcome, however explosive it may be?
