Description
[The Inconvenient Matches series is comprised entirely of stand alone novels that can be read in any order] Raphael St. Alexander, Viscount Carlisle, has only one goal: track the man who betrayed him in Belgium and bring him to justice. Forever changed by his capture at the hands of the French, Rafe is no longer the naive, carefree idiot who left the shores of England. He built himself up to be a ruthless man with no weaknesses in order to enact his revenge. When the death of an old friend leaves him with custody of a child, his plans are entirely thwarted. To make matters worse, he finds himself face to face with the only woman who can see past his charade of carefree libertine. She's a bluestocking who makes no secret of the fact that she disapproves of him. She's irritating and infuriating, but she is also the only woman who has ever been his weakness, the kind of vulnerability he cannot afford. He knows well that he cannot afford to let her in. Weaknesses got you killed in his business. The sooner she's out of his hair, the better. However, every day in her company has him softening until he cannot bear the idea of letting her or his ward go. Still reeling from her brother's death, Sylvia Heartwood finds out that the custody of her niece has been awarded to the most notorious reprobate in London and she will not stand for it. She forces herself into his household hellbent on proving that she is the better custodian for her niece. As Rafe and Sylvie argue and clash, she can't help but see glimpses of the boy she once knew. The one who held her hand during thunderstorms and picked seashells for her. All of a sudden Sylvie's heart is at risk all over again. With a villain lurking in the shadows, can Raphael keep his newfound family safe? Cover by Muni Williams
