The Gentleman's Gambit

Evie Dunmore's The Gentleman's Gambit, closing the League of Extraordinary Women series. Bookish suffragist Catriona Campbell has an ailing estate, an academic block, and a suffrage campaign to run, the last thing she needs is to play host to her father's distractingly attractive young colleague, Elias. As chess matches both literal and figurative play out between them, Catriona must decide whether love is worth the risk her fears have always told her it isn't.
