Con un toque de Jane Austen, La carta de Miss Lattimore es una elegante comedia romántica de época que devorarás en una sola sentada. La joven Sophie Lattimore no puede quedarse de brazos cruzados cuando descubre que un caballero esta a punto de proponerle matrimonio a la mujer equivocada. Para evitar este error, Sophie decide enviar una carta anonima para poner al joven sobre aviso, carta que rapidamente se convierte en la habladuria de la alta sociedad, especialmente cuando su consejo resulta ser correcto. Lo que Sophie no espera es que, con todo el revuelo, se descubra que es la autora de la nota, y la que anteriormente se viera relegada a un segundo plano durante la temporada de bailes y cortejos en Londres, se convierta en la joven mas buscada, y no solo por su gran habilidad de emparejamiento.

As the target of matchmaking mothers and desperate debutantes, hes determined to avoid the fortune hunters and find a near-perfect woman, one who will meet the qualifications on his well-crafted list. But after years of searching, hes beginning to despair of ever finding this paragon. Until Selina Dalton arrives in town.Selina, a vicars daughter of limited means and a stranger to high society, is thrilled when her friend Julia Thistlewaite invites her to London, until she learns its all part of a plot to exact revenge on Mr. Malcolm. Selina is reluctant to participate in Julias scheme, especially after meeting the irresistible Mr. Malcolm, who appears to be very different from the arrogant scoundrel of Julias description. But when Mr. Malcolm begins judging Selina against his unattainable standards, Selina decides that she has some qualifications of her own. And if he is to meet them he must reveal the real man behind...Mr. Malcolms List.

From the author of Mr. Malcolms List comes a delightful romantic comedy set in Regency England about a widow who takes high society by storm.Diana Boyle, a wealthy young widow, has no desire to ever marry again. Particularly not to someone who merely wants her for her fortune. So when she discovers that shes listed in a directory of rich, single women she is furious, and rightly so. She confronts Maxwell Dean, the man who published the Bachelors Directory, and is horrified to find he is far more attractive than his actions have led her to expect. However, Diana is unmoved by Maxs explanation that he authored the list to assist younger sons like himself who cannot afford to marry unless its to a woman of means. She gathers the ladies in the directory together to inform them of its existence, so they may circumvent fortune hunters efforts to trick them into marriage. Though outraged, the women decide to embrace their unique position of power and reverse the usual gender roles by making the men dance to their tune. And togetherthe ladies rewrite the rules.

The woman who never made a match of her own is making matches for everyone else in this hilarious Regency era comedy of manners. Sophronia Lattimore had her romantic dreams destroyed years ago and is resigned to her role as chaperone for her cousin. Still, she cannot sit idly by when she becomes aware that a gentleman is about to propose to the wrong woman. She sends him an anonymous letter that is soon the talk of the town, particularly when her advice proves to be correct. Her identity is discovered and Sophie, formerly a wallflower, becomes sought after for her expert matchmaking skills. One person who seeks her out is the eligible and attractive Sir Edmund Winslow. As Sophie assists Sir Edmund in his pursuit of a wife, she wishes she could recommend herself as his bride. However, she vows to remain uninvolved while aiding him in his search (especially since the gentleman surely does not return her affections). But when her long-lost love and Sir Edmund both seem to be interested in courting her, Sophie cant figure out if shes headed for another broken heart or for the altar. How can she be expected to help other people sort out their romantic lives when her own is such a disaster?
