This delightful novel is book five in the Merry Spinsters, Charming Rogues series by Sofi Laporte. Each book stands alone, so you don’t need to read the first four to enjoy this book.
Lady Emily Hepplewhite and her sister, Cecily are not as they appear. They are not well connected young ladies, but imposters from humble origins who are trying to stay one step ahead of those who would expose them. Things look up however, when Emily comes up with the perfect plan to secure their futures. The plan? Infiltrate the house party given by the despised “Devil Duke,” where he will fall madly in love with beautiful Cecily and then marry her. What could possibly go wrong? Pretty much everything, as it happens. The duke refuses to cooperate with their plans and instead of Cecily, it is Emily who finds herself engaged to the duke, albeit a sham engagement. Adding to this drama are echoes from Emily’s past that complicate things even more.
If you are a fan of romances featuring enemies to lovers, fake engagements, or second chances, you can’t go wrong with Lady Emily’s Matchmaking Mishap.
