Synopsis

In the first of a dazzling new series, USA Today bestselling author Laura Lee Guhrke introduces London's most renowned matchmaker—and a scoundrel intent on seducing his way to the altar.

She's the matchmaker . . .

Lady Belinda Featherstone's job is to guide American heiresses to matrimony, and away from men like Nicholas, Marquess of Trubridge. But the charming, disreputable marquess needs a wealthy bride, and he hires Belinda to help him find one. Her task seems easy: find that scoundrel the sort of wife he so richly deserves. But Nicholas's hot, searing kiss soon proves her task will be anything but easy.

He's the perfect match . . .

Nicholas plans to wed a rich, pretty young darling to restore his fortune, and he's happy to pay a marriage broker to help him. But one taste of Belinda's lips and Nicholas's sensible scheme to marry for money goes awry, and he yearns to show his beautiful matchmaker he's the perfect match . . . for her.

From Booklist:

*Starred Review* Lady Belinda Featherstone might be the best matchmaker in England, but even she has her limits. When Nicholas, the Marquess of Trubridge, informs Belinda he is in the market for a wife, Belinda thinks he must be joking. When she discovers that Nicholas has been separated from his trust fund until he marries a suitable lady, she becomes infuriated. A notorious rake and heartless cad, Nicholas is cut from the same matrimonial cloth as her late husband, so if Nicholas thinks Belinda will help him find some poor, naive American heiress to wed, well, he is sadly mistaken. Using every trick in her matchmaking book, Belinda sets about scuttling Nicholas’ matrimonial plans only to find that the irresistibly charming Nicholas might prove to be a more formidable adversary than she first imagined. In her latest flawlessly written romance, Guhrke launches a new series by elegantly scrutinizing the trade in American wealth for British titles with skillfulness reminiscent of that of Edith Wharton and a sophisticated sense of wit in the vein of Oscar Wilde. Graced with an abundance of memorable characters and rich in lush sensuality, When the Marquess Met His Match is pure reading bliss. --John Charles
