BOOK DESCRIPTION
Haunted
by the death of her sister, Finola Shanahan has resolved that she's not worthy
of a family of her own and commits to spending her days caring for immigrants
in the slums. When Finola sabotages yet another unwanted relationship her
parents arranged for her, her father calls upon the local Irish matchmaker, who
pairs her with successful wagonmaker Riley Rafferty. Finola quickly realizes
her usual tricks won't work on him, however, as she cannot outsmart or outwit
the dashing, determined, and daring man.
A candidate in the St. Louis mayoral election, Riley is confident a union with
the wealthy Shanahan family will help solidify his chances of winning--and even
more assured he and Finola can make a difference together. When a cholera
outbreak begins to take St. Louis by storm, they must navigate a burgeoning
attraction and growing danger testing all they know about love and sacrifice.
PRAISE FOR CALLING ON THE MATCHMAKER
- “Hedlund’s textured historical backdrop
brings the city’s Irish tenements to life, and the romance between Finola
and Riley, full of longing and barely contained passion (“She was like a
fire burning down a building. And he was walking straight into the
flames”), is a treat. Readers will revel in this charming romp.”— Publisher’s
