Better Than a Duke

Arranging a marriage between a proper, lordly bachelor and his free-spirited neighbor may need more than just Cupid's arrows…Fortunately their two enterprising children are ready to play matchmakers in this sparkling Bridgerton meets The Parent Trap historical rom-com from New York Times bestseller, Suzanne Enoch. Beckett Raines, the Marquis of Hentrose, needs a mother for his young daughter Rebecca, so he's resigned to enduring London's Season to find a suitable wife. Beckett is determined to wed for practicality rather than love, and he thinks he's found the perfect, proper woman for the job.  But when his new next-door neighbor Iris Silbern bursts into his London home in pursuit of her mischievous son Edmund, his careful plans fly out the window. Her energy, sharp wit, and humor charm him, but she is anything but proper. Meanwhile, Iris's relations are encouraging a match with a wealthy, crotchety duke—an answer to her financial troubles, if not her romantic dreams. Rebecca and Edmund have no patience for practical plans, not when the perfect father and mother are right in front of them. With only one Season to summon Cupid, can they bring their parents together before the they trudge to their separate, sensible altars? But will their schemes show Beckett how perfect imperfection can be? And will Iris see that her reliable neighbor may not be a duke, but something much better?
