On the way to meet his future wife, the Duke of Lawford’s coach loses a wheel. Repair is impossible because he’s landed in Marrywell on the first day of their annual May Day Matchmaking Festival and everyone is on holiday. Furthermore, there are no rooms to let, so Law must accept the hospitality of a country squire or, more accurately, from his beautiful, clever daughter who obviously runs the household.

After a disastrous foray at the matchmaking festival four years ago, Sadie Campion has mostly hidden away at home. But at twenty-four, this may be her last chance to marry and have a home and family of her own. When her unexpected houseguest offers to help her attract a husband, she can hardly refuse and, on the duke’s arm, becomes the belle of the festival.

As they grow closer and attraction simmers between them, Law wonders if she is the match he was destined to make…

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Darcy Burke is the USA Today Bestselling Author of captivating, compelling historical mystery and romance as well as small-town contemporary romance. Darcy wrote her first book at age 11, a happily ever after about a swan addicted to magic and the female swan who loved him, with exceedingly poor illustrations.

A native Oregonian, Darcy lives on the edge of wine country with her guitar-strumming husband, artist daughter, and imaginative son who will out-write her one day. They’re a crazy cat family with two Bengal cats, a small, fame-seeking cat named after a fruit, a senior rescue Maine Coon with attitude to spare, an adorable former stray who wandered onto their deck and into their hearts, and two bonded boys who used to belong to (separate) neighbors but chose them instead. You can find Darcy at a winery, in her comfy writing chair, folding laundry (which she loves), or having hilarious game night with the family. Visit Darcy online at darcyburke dot com and follow her on Facebook at DarcyBurkeFans and on Instagram at darcyburkeauthor.

It doesn’t take long for him to be pleased about this and that might have something to do with his host’s pretty daughter!I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from the author.

    Darcy Burke books are some of my favorites, but this one was not even remotely what I’ve come to expect.

    The characters were shallow. The plot was uninspired and entirely predictable. It’s as if the plot outline was the actual book. If not for the sex, it might have been written for middle schoolers.

    I might read more in this series, but I’ll wait for it to be offered on Kindle Unlimited.

    A delightful fairytale with all the required characters: the handsome prince, the sorely put-upon maiden, the loving servants, the wicked one, the ‘ugly sisters’ (Mrs Sneed & friend), and a festival for them all to plot and plan around.
    I thoroughly enjoyed this romance for the sweet fairytale it is.
