Sinossi

"Turano takes readers on a lighthearted romp through matchmaking season in 1888 Newport, R.I. This is a delight."--Publishers Weekly 
 
Miss Gwendolyn Brinley accepted a temporary paid companion position for the Newport summer season, believing it would be a lark to spend the summer in America's most exclusive town. She suddenly finds her summer turning anything but amusing when her employer expects her to take over responsibilities as an assistant matchmaker. Tasked with the daunting prospect of attaining advantageous matches for her clients, Gwendolyn soon finds herself in the employ of Mr. Walter Townsend, the catch of the Season, but a gentleman Gwendolyn finds beyond irritating. 
 
Walter Townsend is reluctantly in search of a wife for the sake of his unruly motherless children who cannot keep a governess for long. What he wasn't expecting was Miss Brinley, an amateur matchmaker who turns his quest for a new wife into a complete and utter debacle. Constantly besieged by society ladies on a mission to win his affection, Walter must find a way to overcome their inundating attention--and his unexpected attraction toward Gwendolyn. 
 
The more time they spend together throughout the Newport Season, the harder it is for Gwendolyn to find Walter a wife when she realizes his perfect match might be . . . her.

Bestselling author Jen Turano is back with yet another delightful historical romance that gives us a glimpse into the life and drama of high society in the Gilded Age. As can be expected from a Turano tale, she tells her story lightly and with a twinkle in the eye that makes the read absolutely enjoyable.

Miss Brinley is supposed to find a bride for Mr. Townsend, a highly desirable widower and father of three children. What should be a piece of cake turns into a delicate matter and soon Miss Brinley finds herself tangled up in a complicated web of emotions and conventions. Could – class forbid – she herself be the perfect match for the immensely wealthy widower?

Strong in dialogue, the novel moves at a quick pace and you will find yourself on the last page before you know it. And best of all? A MATCH IN THE MAKING marks the start of a new series. We cannot wait for the second book to come out!
