Miss Gwendolyn Brinley accepted a temporary paid companion position for the Newport summer season, believing it would be a lark to spend the summer in America's most exclusive town. She suddenly finds her summer turning anything but amusing when her employer expects her to take over responsibilities as an assistant matchmaker. Tasked with the daunting prospect of attaining advantageous matches for her clients, Gwendolyn soon finds herself in the employ of Mr. Walter Townsend, the catch of the Season, but a gentleman Gwendolyn finds beyond irritating.
Walter Townsend is reluctantly in search of a wife for the sake of his unruly motherless children who cannot keep a governess for long. What he wasn't expecting was Miss Brinley, an amateur matchmaker who turns his quest for a new wife into a complete and utter debacle. Constantly besieged by society ladies on a mission to win his affection, Walter must find a way to overcome their inundating attention--and his unexpected attraction toward Gwendolyn.
The more time they spend together throughout the Newport Season, the harder it is for Gwendolyn to find Walter a wife when she realizes his perfect match might be . . . her.

This Or That Interview with Jen Turano
Pizza or Tacos?
Hmmm. This is a tough one, but I’m going to say tacos, although…well, I really love pizza as well, but only thin crust.

Library or Bookstore?
Another difficult one. I’m going to go with library because my library is only a mile away from my house, and I spend a lot more time there than in the bookstores, although I can spend hours in a bookstore as well.

Time Travel – Past or Future?
Definitely past – I would love to see some of those grand mansions that once marched down Fifth Avenue.

Sunrise or Sunset?
Sunrise – I’m a morning person and I’m on the trail right at dawn almost every morning.

Outgoing or reserved?
I don’t think I have a reserved bone in my body.

Camping or Glamping?
Camping and, I know, you were probably expecting Glamping, but I was raised in a small town and spent my childhood covered in mud and sleeping out in a tent in the forest behind my house or in my treehouse with my gaggle of girlfriends.

Pets or People?
While I love animals, I enjoy people more, probably because I can hold an actual conversation with them.

Silly hats or silly socks?
I’m going to go with neither on this one.

Fiction or Non-fiction?
Fiction, although I read a ton of non-fiction for research purposes, a great deal of it rather dry with a few fascinating tidbits thrown in every once in a while.
