Lyness Eastman has always lived in the shadow of his elder brother, a baron, but he’s never minded. A second son without a title, Lyness finds solace in his quiet life in York, tending to family affairs and avoiding the scrutiny of London Society. His only regret is Lady Emily Sterling, the vivacious daughter of an earl whose smile has haunted him since their brief meeting during a London Season. But Lyness knows his place: a man with a stutter and no title of his own has no business winning the heart of a noblewoman.

Lady Emily Sterling is finding her footing in her new life. With her father’s unexpected inheritance of an earldom, she’s thrust into the world of nobility, a place she’s not sure she belongs. Despite her family’s support, Emily’s missteps leave her questioning whether she’ll ever live up to Society’s standards. Seeking refuge from London’s critical eyes, Emily spends the summer in York, where she hopes to hone her manners and embrace her new role.

Fate brings Lyness and Emily together once more in York. Drawn together through curiosity, they form an unexpected friendship. Lyness becomes her patient guide through York Society, offering gentle encouragement. But despite his growing affection, Lyness is determined to remain nothing more than a friend. A humble second son could never be Lady Emily's match.

But as the green leaves of summer turn to gold in autumn, Lyness and Emily find themselves drawn closer. When their friendship blooms into something more, will Lyness overcome his doubts and believe he’s worthy of her love? And can Emily show him that sometimes, the truest nobility is found in a kind heart and steadfast devotion?

A sweet historical novel brimming with romance, Mr. Eastman’s Match is a tender tale of friendship, self-discovery, and the courage to speak from the heart.
