The Matchmaker's Reckoning

His job is to expose her. Her job is to prove him wrong.

Miss Rosalind Thornbury is the brilliant, unseen strategist behind the Matchmaker's Society, a secret network dedicated to helping those failed by convention. She has built a life orchestrating happiness for others, all while guarding her own heart against a past betrayal.

Richard Ashford, the Earl of Westmont, is Parliament's champion of cold, hard logic. He's convinced the Society is a manipulative fraud and is leading a public inquiry to have them shut down for good.

When the Society's existence is threatened, Rosalind makes a daring proposition: she and the Earl will jointly tour five of the Society's most successful matches. If he finds a single ounce of deceit, the Society will dissolve. If he finds truth, he must defend them publicly.

It's a forced partnership that pits his cynical logic against her living proof. From a house built on intellectual partnership to a haven for artists, they travel together, and the evidence of genuine love begins to crack Westmont's certainty . Their sharp, witty debates soften into respect, and respect into an undeniable attraction.

But as their truce deepens, a new threat emerges: forged documents and political treachery designed to ruin them all. To save the Society, the man who champions logic must stake his entire reputation on the woman who defies it, and the matchmaker must finally risk her own heart.

This witty, slow-burn Regency romance is a captivating enemies-to-lovers tale about public integrity, private courage, and the truth that love is the most rational proof of all.
