About the Book

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.

Review

A fresh start isn’t always easy to come by.  But with the help of the Matchmaker, Enya Shanahan and Sullivan O’Brien, both in dire circumstances, agree to an arranged marriage of convenience.  Hedlund dives deep into the emotions of both of these characters as they overcome their past and learn to trust and eventually fall in love.  A beautifully written, heart-rending story, that readers will fall in love with at the turn of the very first page.
