Chester and Artemis (The Umbrella Chronicles #1)
Amy Quinton
There comes a time in every bachelor's life, when his good-natured but meddling sister gets it into her mind to play matchmaker. And on every occasion, they contact none other than Lady Harriett Ross, self-proclaimed Motley Meddler, the Mistress of Destiny, and Wielder of the Infamous Umbrella.
Enter the Duke of Eastly. A man with just such a sister. He has scars, thinks society is nonsense, and prefers to stay far away from any and all shenanigans. But he could never resist his sibling, who tells him a sorrowful tale of woe, of a dear friend's shy plight ahead of an important auction at the Frost Fair of 1814. No worries. He has the perfect solution. Help is on the way!
Enter the aforementioned friend, Miss Artemis Synclaire. The precise opposite of timid and shy. And as such, she won't stand for the Beast's asinine resolution. She'd rather dine with an elephant (which could actually be arranged) than deal with a man such as he. Can two such stubborn people ever bend enough to discover they've found their perfect match?
