In the wake of a devastating fire, Kiernan Shanahan sees a shrewd opportunity to invest in a clay mine and brickyard to aid the city's rebuilding. To secure his venture, he seeks a wealthy bride with a substantial dowry. However, the matchmaker he consults has different plans. As danger looms and Alannah fights to keep her brother safe, Kiernan's protective instincts draw them closer, but a future together seems too far out of reach. It will take a miracle--or a wager with the wily matchmaker--to form a match between the unlikely couple.

My Review
This book for me was a page-turner. The author grabbed and and didn't let go, and I really enjoyed all of it!
A young woman whom is down to one brother left out of a former family of five, and she has made her way to be near her surviving brother in St. Louis. When this read starts she is working as a domestic, and dreaming of going back to Ireland.
Of course, things can't stay calm and even, she has attracted the attention of a really not to nice individual, a gang leader!
We are given some very sweet romance, some very real danger, and a look at St Louis after the 1849 fire.
Family dynamics play a big part in this read, and throw in violence and danger!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
