The Matchmaker's Most Disastrous Scheme: A Delightfully Witty Grumpy-Sunshine Regency Historical Romance
Not yet published
Expected 1 Feb 26A scheming debutante. A grumpy duke. A love story neither of them saw coming.
Miss Georgiana Tolliver has waited her entire life for this her very own Season, at last! She has the gowns, the gloves, the colour-coded lists of eligible gentlemen, and a heart full of grand, glorious hopes. Her plan is to usher her impetuous younger sister safely through Society, to orchestrate a string of advantageous matches, and (should the opportunity arise) to secure a duke for the family.
Unfortunately, the brooding and impossible Duke of Morleigh refuses to cooperate.
What begins as a perfectly managed scheme swiftly devolves into scandal sheets, flying arrows, and one very accidental engagement… to the wrong Tolliver sister.
Now affianced to a man who is both infuriated and infuriating, Georgie finds herself caught in the one love story she never her own. Being a duchess is far lonelier than she imagined, and the man who married her for honour may never love her back. As it turns out, love cannot be organised or colour-coded, and happily-ever-afters are far more complicated when one is living them.
A riotous Regency romantic comedy bursting with plotting sisters, scandalous schemes, and one very compromised duke.
Perfect for fans of Jane Austen, Tessa Dare, Evie Dunmore, and Bridgerton’s most deliciously chaotic romances!
