In this dazzling finale to the latest trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Jane Feather, the inimitable, anonymous Duncan sisters continue to earn a living—and a reputation—with their clandestine matchmaking service. But a handsome new client has thrown youngest sister Chastity into a professional, and quite personal, quandary.

From behind her opaque veil, Chastity listened to Dr. Douglas Farrell’s distressingly unromantic requirements for a wife: wealth and social status. Her instinct was to refuse a man with such mercenary intentions. But she couldn’t turn away a paying client. Obviously, if the tall, muscular, dark-eyed physician had wanted a love match, he’d have found one himself. Yet the truth about the pragmatic doctor is one that could very well turn her head—and steal her heart—providing she discovers it before it’s too late.

At the age of thirty-five, Douglas Farrell was ready to sacrifice his bachelorhood for his true passion—caring for the poorest of London’s poor. But his dream requires capital. For that, he is convinced he needs a wealthy, well-connected wife. And for that, he needs the services of one mysteriously disguised, peculiarly accented—increasingly captivating—woman who will reveal herself only as the Mayfair Lady.

"Set in London during a time when traditionalism started giving way to modernization and suffragists challenged the status quo, this final installment in Feather's Matchmaker trilogy (The Bride Hunt, etc.) follows the nosy, righteous and sometimes self-righteous Duncan sisters as they tackle their toughest challenge yet — finding a wealthy, well-connected wife for a doctor who wants nothing to do with love. Douglas Farrell's businesslike approach to marriage immediately sets Chastity Duncan's teeth on edge, but as one of the secret owners of the suffragist scandal sheet The Mayfair Lady, to which Douglas has applied for matrimonial aid, she can't let her emotions cloud her business dealings. So Chastity finds the good doctor exactly what he has asked for. He soon realizes that he'd rather have Chastity, though. Douglas has a noble reason for seeking a marriage of convenience — he intends to use his spouse's money to set up a clinic in a city slum — but his haughty attitude toward aristocrats (who, he automatically assumes, care nothing for the poor) is off-putting. The book's conflict stems from a minor misunderstanding, and many of the goings-on are merely padding. But the primary romance, while lacking in passion and drama, holds enough charm to keep readers engaged. (Apr.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
