She’s played Cupid for others
Now she’s met her own unlikely match!
Part of The Sommersby Brides. Widowed society matchmaker Mrs. Clara Sommersby thinks self-made businessman William Lane is just the man for her neighbor’s overlooked daughter. He’s successful and confident, if emotionally distant, until suddenly—shockingly—his attention turns to Clara herself! She thought her days of romance were over, but is this younger man intent on giving her a second chance?

For my editor, Linda Fildew,
for trusting me with this idea and for
frequently making me smile with your notes.
Thank you to Harper St George for being there, and
to Anabelle Bryant for listening to me work through
this plot on that long road trip. Shout out to my
agent, Courtney Miller-Callihan, and to my team at
Harlequin Historical. To my friends, who understood
when I disappeared to write this. Thanks for your
patience. And to my family. I’m grateful for you every
day. Finally, thanks to my awesome readers! For those
of you who said Clara deserved to find love again,
regardless of her age, this one’s for you.
