Three men compete for her hand-but only one holds her heart Amidst the glamour of the London season, Alicia Westlake must find a husband before she's swept into a match of her mother's making. Two of the season's most eligible bachelors vie for her hand, but she's more interested in character than wealth, and dreams of marrying for love. Welcomed into the bluestocking circle, Alicia is drawn to the witty Mr Merry, who shares her love of history-but not her faith. A younger son, Christopher Merry is the black sheep of his family. Haunted by painful memories, which he struggles to suppress, he refuses to take life seriously. Mrs Westlake's plans for Alicia leave no room for such a man. Desperate for her daughter to marry into the nobility, she will go to any lengths to achieve a brilliant match. Christopher must confront his past, and seek forgiveness, to become the man Alicia needs to save her from being sacrificed to her mother's ambitions. But time is running out... Set in London and the seaside town of Weymouth, in 1788-9, this novel by the co-author of the popular Regency History blog is rich in historical detail. A glossary is included. Written in a traditional style, inspired by Georgette Heyer, A Perfect Match is a clean and wholesome faith-based romance, full of witty banter and understated humour. This is the first in The Merry Romances series, but can be read as a standalone romance with its own happily ever after.
