Authors' last name is Freemen, not Freeman

This Signet Regency is described on the cover as "a proper young lady and a lordly rake fight to keep from falling in love." An elderly and beloved stepmother tries matchmaking between her cynical stepson and her sheltered, but confident granddaughter. To do so, she sends him and her 30ish unmarried daughter on a fake errand of dissuading the granddaughter from an unsuitable match. The two protagonists suspect that they're being manipulated but cannot help their mutual attraction. The principal characters are intelligent and witty and the plot is for the most part believable. The secondary characters also possess charm. There's not a lot of sex (the copyright is 1980!), but what sweet romance and clever repartee there is in its place!
