Saved by the Matchmaker by Jody Hedlund
Bestselling author Jody Hedlund first introduced readers to her brand-new historical romance series set amidst the bustling streets of St. Louis in late 2023 with Calling on the Matchmaker, book one in A SHANAHAN MATCH. Met with rave reviews, Hedlund’s fans fell hard for the vibrancy of the author’s writing, the Irish Shanahan siblings, and the booming city in which they live. Now returning with the much-anticipated second installment featuring a marriage of convenience, Hedlund pens a dramatic and stirring tale with Saved by the Matchmaker.
After her annulment is finalized, Enya Shanahan finds herself caught in a web of scandal and obligation while carrying a secret that threatens to shatter her family’s reputation. Determined to find a suitable marriage for Enya, her father turns to a wily matchmaker to save them from their circumstances.
Sullivan O’Brien, a steamboat captain committed to aiding enslaved people on their path to freedom, is faced with an ultimatum from his father. Forced to marry or lose his livelihood, a marriage of convenience seems to be the only solution. As he and Enya face the trials of their pasts and a city consumed by fire, they must confront their deepest fears and learn to trust in love, even when darkness threatens to engulf them.
Join bestselling author Jody Hedlund as she returns to 1800s St. Louis in this moving story of resilience and love against all odds.
