Synopsis: Discover the first installment in the new delightfully charming Scottish romance series where the matchmaker of Edinburgh uses her uncanny abilities to create the perfect matches—even if the couples are doubtful they&’ll ever find love.An accomplished sculptor with secret ambitions, Ina Duncan has managed to avoid marriage for years until an accidental encounter at a party leaves her near ruin and in need of a husband. Fast. Determined to find a willing husband for Ina, Edinburgh&’s most powerful matchmaker, Moira Sullivan, quickly realizes that the solution to Ina&’s problem might be right in front of her. Ina&’s best friend, Gavin Barrett, has a secret no one knows: he&’s loved her for years. As the second son of a baronet, however, he knows he has little chance with his brilliant, beautiful friend. All that changes when Moira convinces Ina to propose a marriage of convenience to Gavin to save her from ruin. Ina only wants two things from him in return: a vow she can continue to sculpt and a promise they&’ll remain in Edinburgh. After a rocky start, happiness—and maybe passion—seems on the horizon for the newlyweds until a twist of fate bestows the title of Sir Barrett on Gavin and forces him to assume responsibilities he&’s never wanted. Forced to mold herself into the perfect baronet&’s wife, Ina must choose between her dreams and the man she&’s learning to love.
