Granted, a plain owl of a woman had little chance of winning the heart of a man like Devon Lockley—but she hadn’t become a doctor of ornithology, Britain’s youngest professor, and Huttingdon Primary School’s Most Reliable Student (1873), by surrendering when things got tough! Besides, she didn’t aim so high as his heart, only his smile, maybe a kiss or two…and she wouldn’t turn up her nose at being stuck in a hotel bedroom with him again either, should fate absolutely insist upon it.
