Publisher Description
A brilliant match—nothing less would do.
Lady Dorothea Rowlandson has always known her duty: secure an advantageous marriage and safeguard her family’s future. With her father’s untimely death delaying her debut, she is now perilously close to spinsterhood. This season, she cannot afford distractions—especially not from a man as wholly unsuitable as Miles Shaw.
Miles, a charming but land-poor gentleman, has no illusions about love. He needs a wealthy bride to save his estate, and he’s honest about it. He may not be a titled peer, but he is determined to be a devoted husband, offering loyalty, affection, and security in return.
But when fate—perhaps with a touch of mischief—partners Dorothea and Miles for the first dance of the season, an undeniable spark ignites. He is not the match she planned. She is not the wealthy bride he sought. And yet, with every stolen glance and unguarded moment, resisting the impossible feels more and more like a fool’s errand. In a world where fortunes dictate fate, will they defy society’s expectations… or their own?
Perfect for fans of Pride and Prejudice and Georgette Heyer, this slow-burn Regency romance delivers wit, longing, and a love worth risking everything for.
"A witty romp that’s sure to charm fans of Regency romance." — Kirkus Reviews

A Brilliant Match
As Dorothea worries about all her family members since her fathers death, she steps into her coming out to find a husband. Finding a match that fits her needed but her heart is not in it.
Clever and cute
I enjoyed this light read. I don’t think it is a very serious book but it is fun and witty at times. I think the author could have done a lot more to develop the characters and create more tension in the plot.
Over all though, I’m interested in the author and will read more of her regency works.
