Plot Summary of The Love Match
"Felicity Waverley was a champion of women's rights as well as the authoress of a shocking novel entitled The Love Match. Everyone knew that she thought marriage was equal to prison, but they didn't know how incredibly lonely she was. When the darkly handsome Marquess of Darkwater saw Felicity, he was intrigued. He offered to help her discover the truth of her past. While making discoveries that constantly placed their lives in danger, they fell in love."
Laura J. Miller, Resident Scholar
