Set on staying blissfully unmarried, stoic and proud Lady Angela Worthington hires club owner and secret matchmaker Gerard Stark to find a match for her best friend who is planning to propose. A splendid idea or stark chaos? ***** Angela Worthington, the stoic, proud, and peculiarly smart daughter of the Marquess of Hartmour, arrives in Coulway for the Season with no intentions of finding a love match. Unknown to everyone, Lady Angela’s interest lies purely on a fairly criminal mission that involves the famous Season Fair, the Ramsbury Circus, and a few animals. However, Angela discovers that her best friend, Spencer Pembroke, has plans to propose! Her promising life as a spinster suddenly threatened, she hires Gerard Stark, ambitious owner of a gentleman’s club with a very hush-hushed matchmaking service. Naturally, the match will be for Spencer, not her. Stark agrees to help her stay blissfully unmarried on one condition: she sponsors his sister for the Season. An agreement and a few spats later, Angela finds herself thrown in a series of events that involves befriending Leah, a potential match for Spencer, joining the Shelf Absorbed Book Club with other wallflowers, reading a horrible story about a gossipmonger and a duke; and kissing Stark fro a wine experiment. Before she knew it, Angela finds herself out of her comfort zone, effectively losing control of her perfect plans. And even her heart. A total disaster for her mental well-being is about to happen and the Season has barely even Begun! Join our not-so-typical heroine and the members of the Shelf Absorbed Book Club on an adventure of friendship, romance, and their slightly criminal... campaigns.
