A Perfect Equation (The Secret Scientists of London) (2022)
Elizabeth Everett
...

Miss Letitia Fenley wishes to compete for the prestigious Rosewood Prize for Mathematics. Unfortunately, she is distracted from her research by her role in a secret society of female scientists in Victorian England whose existence was established in the previous book ("A Lady's Formula for Love"). In particular, it is forcing her to interact with the Viscount Greycliff, a man she despises. Based on my limited experience with romance novels, I presume this means that a hot mix of love and lust awaits the couple towards the end of the book. (I'm writing this in January 2022 while the book is scheduled to appear in February. I will update this entry with more information once I've had a chance to read it.)

Where are the new works of mathematical fiction?: As you can see from this chronological listing, this database includes many works of mathematical fiction for each year from 1990 to 2025. Strangely, only two are listed for 2026, so far. Either less mathematical fiction is being published than in previous years or I'm just having more trouble finding it. If you know of any works of fiction that should be added to this list, especially recently published ones, please let me know. (Keep in mind that I do not include self-published works or children's fiction that just covers elementary mathematical concepts.) Thanks!
