Marrying the Matchmaker
Zaira Shanahan has ambitious pursuits that contradict her family's wishes and defy societal norms. Witty Bellamy McKenna has yet to find a wife and prove to St. Louis's Irish community that he's a capable matchmaker. As a scandal brews, can Bellamy and Zaira's pretend match break their unlucky streak of misfortune and blossom into true love?
quot;A historical romance reader's delight. Treat yourself! Jody Hedlund does not disappoint.quot;–ROBIN LEE HATCHER, award-winning author on Calling on the Matchmaker
As the middle child of the Shanahan family, Zaira does her best to keep the peace. She doesn't share her dream of becoming a published author with her family to spare herself their disapproval. When she's caught in a scandal involving the local matchmaker, Bellamy McKenna, she must put her storytelling ability to good use and feign a match with him to avoid wagging tongues and her parents' anger.
Feeling the growing pressure to marry as a well-known, yet single matchmaker to St. Louis's Irish community, Bellamy reluctantly agrees to a temporary match with Zaira. But even though the matchmakers in his family might be able to find love for others, they have a history of disastrous relationships for themselves. When secrets and danger force Zaira and Bellamy to work together, is it finally the matchmaker's turn to be lucky in love?
Hedlund delivers another captivating closed-door historical romance with sizzling chemistry, witty banter, a fake relationship, and close-knit Irish families where the matchmaker finally meets his match in this final installment in her series for fans of Mimi Matthews and Elizabeth Camden.
