The Ornithologist's Field Guide to Love

Professors Beth Pickering and Devon Lockley are searching for a bird -- and tenure!

Beth Pickering never got along much with other people -- she's more interested in birds than most human interaction. As the youngest and only female Oxford professor, she's not much respected by her peers. But when an international birding competition reveals that the prize is the elusive tenure, Beth is all in. No matter that the bird is practically mythical...

Also looking for the caladrius bird is the roguish Professor Devon Lockley. While a beautiful specimen to behold, he gets on Beth's nerves and in the way of the tenure that belongs to her! The two end up having to work together to find the elusive bird that will win one of them tenure. But as the days go by, they begin to realize that they don't want the competition -- and their temporary partnership -- to end.

Recommended for readers of historical romance looking for something off the beaten path, especially those who loved India Holton's Dangerous Damsels series.
