The Matchmaking Games is a five-book Regency romance series published across 2023 and 2024. Each book uses a numbered conceit in its title, whether dates, rules, nights, or promises, to structure the courtship between its hero and heroine. The series includes a duke, a viscount, a marquess, and an earl among its leading men.

Five Dates with the Duke and Four Rules for the Viscount opened the series in 2023, followed by Three Promises to the Duke later that year. Two Nights with the Beastly Marquess and Her Kiss to the Rakish Earl continued the series into 2024. Each book works as a standalone romance, though characters from previous entries occasionally appear.
