Synopsis

Elizabeth Bennet has known the eccentric Lord Matlock since childhood. Her father’s closest friend at school, he has never outgrown his taste for pranks, not even after he unexpectedly inherits a title. Yet despite the long-standing intimacy between their families, Elizabeth has never met his nephew, Mr. Darcy—and now that she has, she rather wishes he had remained a stranger.

Fitzwilliam Darcy inherited early and has lived a life of responsibility ever since. With the pleasant but heavy weight of Pemberley on his young shoulders, it’s no wonder he is constantly exasperated by his uncle’s irreverence and shenanigans. He doesn’t have time to continually drag Lord Matlock out of trouble—at his age, the man should know better.

When Matlock and Bennet see Elizabeth and Darcy together, inspiration strikes. Why not unite their families permanently with the most ideal tie of all—love? There’s only one hitch: their stubborn young relatives refuse to see how perfect they are for each other. But that’s hardly an obstacle for two gentlemen with decades of pranks behind them. Really, how hard could a bit of matchmaking be?

Hertfordshire may never be safe again. With locked doors, misdirected carriages, and mischief at every turn, Matlock and Bennet’s schemes turn Longbourn and Netherfield upside down. But every near-disaster brings hearts closer together. And before their plots are through, more than one unsuspecting couple may just fall in love.
