She's the scandal he never planned for.
England 1803: Meet Lady Harriet Beaumont, known affectionately as "Harry" in the circles that dare speak her name with a chuckle. Daughter to the Earl of Whickerton, Harriet is a breath of fresh air—or a whirlwind of chaos, depending on whom you ask. A self-proclaimed spinster and savior of the animal kingdom, her heart is reserved for the wounded and the wild. From Sir Lancelot the rabbit to King Arthur, a parrot with a penchant for being called Biscuit, her life is a parade of rescued creatures. But her latest project is her most challenging yet: a two-legged, rather dashing specimen known as the Duke of Clements, whom she has cheekily dubbed Sweet Jack.
His world was orderly until her whirlwind arrived.
For Bradley Jackson, the Duke of Clements, life is a series of meticulously planned events. That is until he encounters a most peculiar lady in the woods. Lady Harriet, with her untamed spirit and disinterest in propriety, is an enigma wrapped in a riddle, turning his orderly world upside down. Tasked with selecting a suitable duchess, Bradley finds himself hopelessly distracted by the one woman who insists she will never wear the title.
A duke's dilemma: the woman who won't be won.
As Harriet continues to invade his space—and slowly, his heart—Bradley faces an unforeseen dilemma. How does one court a woman who is determined to remain unattached? With each passing day, the idea of anyone else by his side seems more absurd, yet the more he learns about Harriet, the more he realizes just how formidable a task winning her heart will be.
Rules for a perfect life: 1. Meet her. 2. Forget all other rules.
Caught between the pull of desire and the push of duty, Bradley and Harriet must navigate the complexities of their positions and their passions. Can a lady who vows never to marry and a duke desperate to claim her heart find a common ground? Or will Harriet's menagerie of misfits be the only hearts she's willing to mend?
This lady is not to be won, but to be reckoned with.
Reader's reviewThis is such a great series. I love this family. Every book has been so engrossing I can hardly stop reading
★★★★★Sarah LI love the whole series! To be a member of this amazing family… Thank you Ms Wolf for sharing your talents!!
★★★★★BRinehartOh my every book in this series has gotten better. This one has been my favorite! I really love it. I finished it in one day and honestly didn’t get any sleep.
★★★★★Reader's ReviewThis author makes me laugh and cry over and over again, with each book she has written. Wonderful characters, first and foremost, that live with you long after you close the last page of the book. Amazing stories, that make you think about life and family and love, and root for these characters. Ordering and reading every book she has ever written!
BREE WOLF is a USA Today bestselling author and award-winning word wizard, who is rarely seen without a book in hand or fingers glued to the keyboard.
This has to be one of the wittiest stories I have read. Harriet is a hurricane that blows into “Jack’s” life without even a hint of warning! Bradley or Jack(cute nickname that drives him crazy) is a prim and proper duke who is flummoxed by Harriet’s bold nature. Watching them dance around each other is hilarious ! What was a little disappointing was this story seemed to be extremely long. I felt like some of the middle was just the same information said over and over. The climax was exciting and one detail was TOTALLY unexpected. Wonderful Wickerton characters abound and as always , Grandma Edie doesn’t disappoint. Lovely read!!
Impetuous, stubborn and wildly independent, Lady Harriet is determined to never lose her identity by submitting to marriage. However her love for mending hurt animals has found a new focus on the rigid, lonely Duke living next door to her sister. Bradley Jackson, Duke of Clements closed his emotions off many years ago, if ‘Harry’ bring him back to life, will her life change also?
I absolutely LOVED this book! Lady Harriet (Harry) follows Grandma Edie's suggestion to ride a different route one morning where she meets the Duke of Clements (Bradley Jackson/Jack). He's all prim and proper, and Harry is the complete opposite. What will happen when his caution and care to all things proper clashes with her spontaneous and uninhibited behavior? Lots of fun with a twist of danger! I enjoyed Harry's prodding Jack into different thought patterns, questioning his beliefs (will she go too far?); and, although Jack was tempted to turn away, he persisted in meeting, helping, and rescuing Harry. A few twists and Grandma Edie's scheming made it a fun read! I received a complimentary ARC of this book and have given my honest opinion in this review.
A lovely romance with interesting characters and such an engaging story. Samuel and Emma are a delight, I mean what could go wrong with a Duke and his Scottish matchmaker. Lots of attraction, a whole lot of fun and a wonderful happy ending and finale to this series.
Lady Emma Blackwood is a matchmaker visiting London to help the Duke of Clearford’s sister find a husband. She is hoping to make a successful match, so she and her sisters can stay in London and escape from their father.
Samuel Maerriweather, the Duke of Clearford has given up on offering advise in courtship and needs help finding a husband for his sister Lady Felicity. He decides a matchmaker is just the person he needs for her but not for himself.
Samuel and Emma are determined to forget their first meeting in the garden under the moonlight and do their duty to each of their sisters. The more they are determined not to be together, the more determined the sisters believe they do belong together. Even going as far as to fake a disappearing sister and sending Samuel and Emma on a wild chase together. Let the fun courtship begin!!
Wow!! What a way to end the series!! Samuel finally gets a wife and I felt Emma was perfect for him. I absolutely loved their story!! This book was very entertaining, lots of fun and had plenty of steam. One of things I really loved about this series was the interaction between Samuel and all of his sisters. It was so much fun having all of them together in each of the books as we read each of their stories!! I highly recommend this book and the entire series!!
This was a great conclusion to a great series. I enjoyed all of the books and was hoping that Samuel would get his story told and was not disappointed.
Samuel is the Duke of Clearford and the brother of eight sisters, most of whom are of marrying age. He needs to get his sister, Felicity, married to a suitable man after she was spurned by another man, leaving her bereft and heartbroken. She wasn’t interested in any other men, but when he has Lady Emma Blackwood come in as a matchmaker, Felicity does not object.
What adds more zing to the story is that Samuel is in need of a bride himself—and an heir. He’s in his thirties and time is ticking. He wants to get his sisters married off first and most of them are (and have their own stories in this series), but he is concentrating on Felicity since the younger sisters are too young to be pursuing husbands. He has his eye on a certain widow, but has just platonic feelings for her. He thinks he can make a relationship with her work. He has to be careful of who he picks for a wife due to the risk of scandal should anyone find out about his sisters’ book club. That is a story unto itself and spread throughout the series.
Emma has a story of her own that’s sad and has determined her course in life. She’s already on the shelf and is trying desperately to save the reputations of her own sisters. She knows she will never marry, even though she’d like to someday. How she first meets Samuel was absolutely beautiful and laid out some angst for the rest of the story.
The tension, the difficulties, and the feels between Samuel and Emma flew from the screen. There were a few times when I wanted to shake her for being so stubborn and obtuse, but she had her reasons. In the end, I admired them both.
This was a terrific story that captivated me from the beginning and kept me enthralled to the end. I couldn’t have asked for a better finale.

Six sisters, two matchmakers and the moon
Emma & Samuel
Scottish Lady and disgraced matchmaker, she’s set on securing a duke’s sister the perfect husband, keeping her wastrel father happy and her little sisters far out of reach of his greedy clutches.
He’s the duke and retired wannabe matchmaker set on marrying the young widow his sisters selected for him. Not the love match he once dreamed of, but she’s already well aware of the family secret and that should be enough.
They accidentally meet under the moon; a magical moment in which anything seams possible... followed by the cold shower the next morning when she learns he’s her new employer, and he realises he can’t risk her reputation...
At 31 she’s a fairly innocent but curious spinster, and he, now 35, forgot about women the moment he became the Duke 13 years ago. Their repartee and sizzle is chef’s kiss!
It’s 100% love at first sight for the both of them, and they can fight it all they want, you just know these two are made for each other. Literally two peas in a pod, and it’s oh so enchantingly enthralling watching them crack each other’s pod - it’s such an endearingly clumsy awkward irresistible muddle!
Add a mingling meddling mischievous gaggle of sisters, seductive knife throwing lessons, salacious books, naughty notes, ballroom shenanigans, new friends, old foes, the jealousy theory, too many brothers-in-law, a failed proposal, an elopement, a mad dash road trip, a storm and a true knight-in-shining-armour rescue - and you get the brilliant, bubbly, both heartbreaking and heartwarming, delectable, fantabulous fairytale ending to this wonderful series! Never a dull moment; I absolutely devoured this book! I love this family and their stories so much, and I cannot recommend this entire series highly enough!
The Duke of Clearford would like to marry for love, but his family’s secret erotic lending library makes that impossible. If the library is discovered, his wife would be ruined. But if he marries a member of the library, someone already courting scandal, he won’t have to risk an innocent’s reputation. He’s determined to do just that. Until he meets Lady Emma Blackwood—beautiful, intelligent, and entirely off limits. Chased out of Edinburgh by her enraged father and a scandal she did not cause, Lady Emma is determined to restart her matchmaking practice in London with a prestigious client the insufferable Duke of Clearford. Yet attraction, unexpected and consuming, threatens to their loyalty to duty and obligation
The final book of this delightful series, it’s easily read on its own but the Merriweather family features throughout. I loved both Samuel & Emma, they were attracted to each other from their first meeting in a community garden. I loved how their relationship grew & deepened. Their sisters were a delight & were determined to find the right ‘match’ for their eldest siblings. The banter was delicious, the attraction sizzled & the pace was good. There were plenty of hiccups on their journey which all made it an engrossing romance.
