A Perfect Match (The Merry Romances Book 1)

Description

London, 1788. Alicia Westlake makes her debut into fashionable society, launched by her ambitious matchmaking mother who is set on her marrying into the nobility.

But Alicia is more interested in character than connections. Despite being pursued by a viscount and the Duke of Wessex’s heir, she finds herself drawn to the witty Mr. Merry—a member of the bluestocking circle to which her father had belonged.

Christopher Merry is not a man of title or faith. The black sheep of the family, he is tortured by his past and drinks to forget. Alicia’s intelligence and humour soon win his heart, but he fears he is no good for her.

How can he overcome the darkness in his past to become the man Alicia needs to save her from her mother’s matchmaking schemes?

Set in London and Weymouth, this faith-based historical romance plays out against the backdrop of the late Georgian period. A glossary of historical terms is included.
