A Well-Matched Pair
(2024)(The third book in the Sweet Daughters of Duke Street series)
A novel by Heidi Wessman Kneale
Every orphan dreams of family. Regina Oxford-Mortimer's life changes in a moment when she learns not only is her mother still alive but is the Dowager Lady Berkshire. Yet the rosy light of this dream fades when she learns her mother has certain plans for her newly-rediscovered daughter--an arranged marriage that is beyond foolishness. Regina is illegitimate. No way is she at all suitable for what her mother has in mind.
Dallan FitzJohn has had a better life than most who were born on the wrong side of the blanket. While his noble father can never openly acknowledge him, he has promised Dallan and his mother positions for life in the Boulton family household. When he learns his best friend and half-brother Lord Charles is being matched up with a most unsuitable young lady, of course he steps in to help him escape.
In their efforts to thwart Lady Berkshire's ill-planned matchmaking, Regina and Dallan may have discovered their true match after all, if only her mother would stop interfering.
In a time when a family's reputation and social standing decided one’s fate, starting life as an orphan was a difficult social obstacle to overcome. Never fear, the sons and daughters of the Duke Street Orphanage love a challenge. They won’t let their inauspicious origins hold them back from finding their calling in life and discovering lasting love.
The Sweet Daughters of Duke Street is an emotionally satisfying series of romance novellas to entertain and delight. Each can be read as a stand-alone romance in any order.
Genre: Historical Romance
