About this ebook

An unlucky-at-love veteran gets more than he bargained for from his matchmaker in this Victorian romance by the author of When a Lord Needs a Lady.

Mr. Charles Norris needs help finding a wife . . .

For he has the unfortunate habit of falling for each Season’s loveliest debutante, only to have his heart broken when she weds another. Surely Lady Marjorie Penwhistle can help him. She’s sensible, clever, knows the ton, and must marry a peer, which he is not. Since she’s decidedly out of his reach, Charles is free to enjoy her refreshing honesty—and her unexpectedly enticing kisses . . .

Lady Marjorie Penwhistle doesn’t want a husband . . .

At least not the titled-but-unbearable suitors her mother is determined she wed. She’d rather stay unmarried and look after her eccentric brother. Still, advising Mr. Norris is a most exciting secret diversion. After all, how hard will it be to match-make someone so forthright, honorable, and downright handsome? It's not as if she’s in danger of finding Charles all-too-irresistible herself . . .

Praise for The Spinster Bride

“Alternates between being funny thanks to spot on humorous dialog and heart wrenchingly realistic due to Jane Goodger's attention to detail and accuracy.” —Fresh Fiction

Ratings and reviews

Enjoyed the book (Marjories story) but the parts from Dorothea's past were nearly my undoing. They made me wish to quit reading the book..

Received this story as a gift for an honest opinion. The Spinister Bride had me smiling through the whole story. I was also rooting for the main characters Charles and Marjorie to admit their feelings . Would definitely read this book again. I have found another favorite. Loved it!!

Love this author. If you love historic romances, get her books. Totally worth it.
