The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics (2019)
Olivia Waite
...

Lucy Muchelny is responsible for the mathematical aspects of her father's famous publications in astronomy, but as this is the 19th century she receives no credit for that contribution. Desperate for work after his death, she is fortunate to be hired by the recently widowed Countess of Moth to translate a French treatise on celestial mechanics. Although it begins purely as business, their relationship soon grows into a romance.

Contributed by Anonymous

The math is swallowed by the romanticism of astronomy and, well, the romance.

Exciting News: The 1,600th entry was recently added to this database of mathematical fiction! Also, for those of you interested in non-fictional math books let me (shamelessly) plug the recent release of the second edition of my soliton theory textbook.
