Unwilling to consider marriage, Finola has perfected the ability to sabotage the relationships her parents arrange for her. At wit's end, her father calls upon the local Irish matchmaker, who pairs her with successful wagonmaker Riley Rafferty. After her usual tricks fail, Finola quickly realizes she can't outsmart or outwit the dashing, determined, and daring man. A candidate in the St. Louis mayoral election, Riley is confident a union with the wealthy Shanahan family will help solidify his chances of winning--and even more assured he and Finola can make a difference together. When a cholera outbreak begins to take St. Louis by storm, they must navigate a burgeoning attraction and growing danger testing all they know about love and sacrifice"-- Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20240216. 650 $a Single women $v Fiction. 650 $a Bereavement $x Fiction. 650 $a Irish Americans $x Fiction. 650 $a Social work with immigrants $z Saint Louis $z Saint Louis $v Fiction. . 650 $a Political candidates $z Saint Louis $z Saint Louis $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Christian fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a large print books. $2 aat 830 $a A Shanahan Match ; $v 1. 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20240621010459.0 952 $l SHPC094 $d 20240314045236.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B61AC172E1C911EE94D662C22BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
