Author Jennifer Deibel draws from her years of experience living in Ireland to craft historical novels steeped in culture. In her newest novel, The Irish Matchmaker, Deibel journeys back to Ireland with a tale of mismatched romances, fresh new starts, and happily ever afters.
As the daughter of a matchmaker with an excellent reputation, Catríona Daly is well-versed in love. The one thing love hasn’t done for her yet is take her away from the tiny town she’s been languishing in. The only time the village is truly bustling is during the annual matchmaking festival. And this year, she has her eye on the grandest prize at the festival, Andrew Osborne, the son of a lord. After a failed romance set up by a rival matchmaker, Andrew is ready to find a new match. And Catríona has just the match in mind—herself.
Donal Bunratty is left adrift after the loss of his wife. He has been trying to manage his cattle farm and raise his daughter all alone. But finding new love is more difficult than it would seem. Despite his shyness, Donal agrees to attend the matchmaking festival for the sake of his daughter. Alas, when he attends the festival, the only woman to draw his attention is the one who’s supposed to find his future wife for him—and she is set on matching herself with another.
It will take everything Catríona has learned of love to end this festival with success. The matches she makes could change her life forever.
