About the book
Miss Gwendolyn Brinley was excited to embark on a new adventure as a temporary paid companion for the Newport summer season. She thought it would be a fun experience to spend her time in America's most elite town. However, her expectations quickly changed when her employer asked her to take on the role of an assistant matchmaker. Gwendolyn was now responsible for finding suitable matches for her clients, a task that seemed daunting at first.
One of her clients happened to be Mr. Walter Townsend, the most sought-after bachelor of the Season. Despite his charm, Gwendolyn couldn't help but find him irritating. Meanwhile, Walter, who was reluctantly seeking a wife to care for his motherless children, never expected the chaos that Miss Brinley would bring into his life. Her amateur matchmaking skills only seemed to complicate his search for a suitable wife.
As they navigated through the social whirlwind of the Newport Season, Gwendolyn and Walter found themselves drawn to each other in ways they never imagined. Despite their initial animosity, they couldn't deny the growing attraction between them. And as Gwendolyn spent more time with Walter, she began to realize that the perfect match for him might just be herself.
