About this listen

Somerset, England, 1808. Alice Hapgood is obsessed with studying flora and fauna. With upper-class standards taking a dim view of a lady dirtying her hands, she wears boys' clothing to pursue her passion. And when an assistant position for a handsome member of the Royal Society crops up, she impulsively dons her disguise and risks ruin.

Joseph Tierney has no desire to join the clergy. Going against his family's wishes to become a researcher of the natural world, he takes on a bright young man to help with his latest assignment. And while the brilliant scientist is frustrated that the locals only see him as a candidate for marriage, he grows closer with his enthusiastic aide.

As the work under her charming mentor unexpectedly sparks her feminine side, Alice longs to open up to him. But Joseph suddenly finds himself caught in a jealous triangle that threatens his career, standing, and freedom.

Will this unlikely team's greatest discovery be happily ever after?

The Naturalist is the engaging first book in The Hapgoods of Bramleigh clean Regency romance series. If you like clever-but-impetuous heroines, dedicated heroes, and humorous romps, you'll adore Christina Dudley's delightful tale.
