**All seemed lost--until this Southern belle embraced a new beginning in the unlikeliest of places . . .**

Spoiled, stylish, socially connected Emma Lee Maxwell has spent her life in the idlest of pursuits--attending debutante balls, organizing sorority mixers, and acting as Charleston's unofficial Gossip Queen. But when her family's fortune suddenly dwindles, Emma Lee realizes her days as a Lowcountry Princess are numbered.

When she discovers that she's inherited her aunt's cottage in the Cotswolds, she hightails it to England, nurturing fantasies of polo matches and jaunts to London. . . . Instead Emma Lee is surrounded by spinsters and sheep farmers, and spends her nights reading her aunt's old Jane Austen novels. So when she's invited to join the local chapter of the Austen society, she reluctantly agrees. But the novel *Emma *inspires an epiphany: She will put her people-pleasing ways to good use by becoming the village's very own matchmaker! And she'll start with three local brothers . . .

There's just one skeptical, handsome, charming challenge: the oldest brother, Knightley, is stubbornly insisting Emma Lee abandon her well-meaning ways and focus on making a match of her own--with

him . . .
