Unmasking the Earl by Madeline Martin

THE SELF-SACRIFICING RESERVED LADY
Lady Cecelia Stopford has postponed her life for the sake of her family for too long and has sought the help of her aunt, a notorious matchmaker, for help in finding a husband. While her hopes lean toward someone responsible and reserved just like her, the soft-spoken earl she anticipates has a rakish air she wasn’t expecting. And she discovers she’s pleasantly surprised.

THE EARL WITH A REPUTATION IN HIS PAST
Philip Willcott, the Earl of Chambrook has found himself without an heir. With no other options and a less than stellar reputation, he seeks out the ton’s most notorious matchmaker to let her roll the dice for a suitable match. After sharing a kiss with the stunning Lady Cecelia and realizing she has confused him for another man, one far more reputable than himself, he does not correct her mistake for fear of discouraging her interest. After all, he has always been able to charm women into forgiving him.

CAN THEY EVER BE A MATCH?
When opposites attract and mistaken identities come to light, this matchmaking gone awry might possibly be a duplicitous matchmaking scheme gone exactly right.
