Synopsis

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...
