"A historical romance reader's delight. Treat yourself Jody Hedlund does not disappoint."--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.

When secrets and danger force Zaira and Bellamy to work together, is it finally the matchmaker's turn to be lucky in love?
