Description
A London matchmaker is charged with finding the man she loves a wife in this "delightful" Regency romance from a New York Times bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).
"When a Chattan male falls in love, strike his heart with fire from above . . ."
They call him Lord Lyon, proud, determined —and cursed. He is in need of a bride, but if he falls in love, he dies. His fervent hope is that by marrying —and having a son—without love, perhaps he can break the curse's chains forever.
Enter beautiful Thea Martin—a duke's headstrong, errant daughter and society's most brilliant matchmaker. Years ago, she and Lyon were inseparable, until he disappeared from her life without a word. Now she is charged with finding Lyon's bride—a woman he cannot love for a man Thea could love too well.

        March 12, 2012
        Love overcomes superstition in this delightful first installment of the Chattan Curse Regency trilogy. Disowned widow Thea Martin has steadfastly and stubbornly made a name for herself and supported her young sons as a London matchmaker. When her childhood friend, Neal Chattan, Lord Lyon, attempts to hire her, she initially refuses, still bitter from his abrupt abandonment of their friendship and skeptical of his claim that he is cursed. Handsome Neal wants a bride he cannot love, for any Chattan male who falls in love dies soon afterward; he ditched Thea because he feared his feelings for her. Thea finally promises to help him find a wife, but doesn’t anticipate that she and Lyon will resurrect their friendship as romance. Confused by the curse and her emotions, Thea must decide whether love can conquer all. Maxwell (A Seduction at Christmas) spins a pleasant, unchallenging tale perfect for new romance readers.
