the Courtship Dance

From Booklist The matchmaker finally finds true love for herself in this fourth book of Camp's delightful Matchmaker series (The Marriage Wager, 2007;The Bridal Quest and The Wedding Challenge, 2008). Lady Francesca Haughstonfaces her greatest challenge: she needs to find a match for the Duke of Rochford. The fact that Francesca and Rochford shared a youthful romance makes this assignment especially difficult. Despite her personal history with the duke, Francesca gamely narrows the field of appropriate brides to a group of three, and then goes on to find the best match for him. Like Camp's other books, this one is beautifully crafted. The characters are so real you feel as though you know them, and the feisty matchmaker and the stubborn duke make a memorable couple. Although this novel works well as a stand-alone, libraries will want the entire series. --Shelley Mosley Product Description Lady Francesca Haughston had given up on romance for herself, finding passion instead in making desirable matches for others. So it seemed only fair, when she learned she had been deceived into breaking her own long-ago engagement to Sinclair, Duke of Rochford, that she now help him find the perfect wife. Of course, Francesca was certain any spark of passion between them had long since died--her own treatment of him had seen to that. The way Sinclair gazed at her or swept her suddenly into his arms...well, that was merely practice for when a younger, more suitable woman caught his eye. But soon Francesca found his lessons in love scandalously irresistible--and a temptation that could endanger them both.
