Match Made in Masquerade: A Regency Romance Between Rivals - Scandals of the Season, #1

A single waltz. A stolen kiss. A chance to turn a bitter rivalry into forever.

Cecelia Montclare has perfected the art of keeping suitors at bay with biting wit, impeccable poise, and the occasional well-aimed insult. But nothing ruffles her feathers quite like Nathaniel Langley, the annoyingly handsome rake whose smug smile makes her want to throw her teacup… or kiss him senseless. Their barbed exchanges are legendary and their feud is the best entertainment of the Season.

Then comes the masquerade. One waltz. One stolen kiss. One unforgettable night in the arms of a mysterious, masked stranger who makes Cecelia's heart race and her carefully built defenses crumble. She falls asleep dreaming of him, completely unaware that her perfect stranger and her perfect nuisance are one and the same.

Nathaniel, meanwhile, is losing his mind. He can't stop thinking about the woman who kissed him breathless behind a lace mask. He certainly can't stop noticing how his supposed enemy, Cecelia, suddenly makes him feel the exact same way. But how could his sharp-tongued nemesis and his masked enchantress possibly be the same woman?

With the help (and constant interference) of their matchmaking friends, Cecelia and Nathaniel are thrown together at every turn. The more they clash, the harder they fall.

Full of sparkling banter, meddlesome friends, masked-ball secrets, and the slowest of slow-burn kisses, this Regency romcom is a story of rivals undone by love and a happily ever after worth every scandalous whisper. Expect rivals-to-lovers tension, scandal sheet-worthy swooning, and a spicy happily ever after that will leave you grinning.
