The Matchmaker—“How could anyone fail to notice her?”

Heartbreaker (Hell’s Belles #2) by Sarah MacLean  

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From the depths of London’s South Bank to the ballrooms of Mayfair, Adelaide Trumbull has become a woman wth a mission. Daughter of the leader of the cutthroat gang, the Bully Boys, with tentacles throughout London, the ‘Princess of Thieves’ becomes Adelaide Frampton, invisible cousin and secretary to the Duchess of Trevescan.

She belongs to a group of women who are dedicated to helping others in situations of abuse, standing against lords who tyrannize their families, employ child labourers, everything, the worst of the worst a… “mysterious quartet of women who meted out justice to men who were too powerful for regular channels.”

Currently they’re trying to protect a young woman who witnessed her father murdering another Lord.

Adelaide is known as The Matchmaker. She compiles files on persons of interest for the group.

This time her plans are disturbed by Henry Carrington, the Duke of Clayborn, a man who really sees her, when others’ eyes pass her by. A man with his own secrets, secrets she’s about to uncover, even as she races against time to rescue Lady Helene, daughter of the Marquess of Havistock and it seems, Clayborn’s brother, Jack.

There’s definitely sizzling situations and heated moments as these two jostle for supremacy, but when they’re together, having to face down a common enemy, all that changes!

A wild read that just keeps on getting wilder!
