The Perks of Mismatchmaking with an Earl by Hazel Linwood

“Give me one more chance to love you…”

Having lost her mother to tragic circumstances, and with the only man she ever loved missing, playing matchmaker is Lady Penelope Richford’s only solace.
Suffering from intense night terrors all his life, Daniel Jenson, the Earl of Carlton, thinks his fate sealed and inescapable. Convinced that his father’s madness runs in his blood, he struggles to stay away from the woman he loves to protect her from his darkness. Until it is announced that he is to court her best friend.
At close quarters after years of separation, old feelings resurface tenfold. As do old secrets. Caught in a scandal, Penelope and Daniel must come to terms not only with their feelings for each other but also with the truth that the madness of Daniel’s father did not die with him. A truth that a long thought dead shadow from the past is all too ready to dig deep into.
