Henrietta Cynster has earned the nickname "The Matchbreaker" for good reason. She possesses an uncanny ability to spot doomed relationships before they reach the altar, saving countless couples from miserable marriages in Regency London. When she successfully prevents another ill-fated union, Henrietta finds herself with an unexpected obligation: she must locate the ideal wife for the charming James Glossup. This task should be straightforward for someone with her expertise, but Henrietta discovers that her usual methods fail her completely. The more time she spends with James, analyzing what type of woman would suit him, the more she realizes something troubling. Despite her firm belief that romantic love will never be part of her own destiny, Henrietta cannot ignore the undeniable attraction growing between them. James seems equally affected by their connection, creating a dilemma that threatens to upend everything Henrietta thought she knew about matchmaking and her own heart.
