Reluctant Lovers — Elizabeth Chadwick (1)

THE CHICAGO GIRLS
Plain or pretty, shy or sultry, they all showed up on Kathleen Fitzgerald's doorstep looking for the same thing -- a husband!

THE MATCHMAKER'S MATCH
Ever since her first appearance in Breckenridge, Colorado, Kat had been besieged by proposals from the love-starved men of the remote mining town. But determined to avoid all matrimonial traps, the lovely young widow decided instead to act as matchmaker between her new admirers and the arrivals from her old hometown.

Having sworn off love, Kat found herself surrounded by romance, while the one man she truly desired left her body on fire, but refused to ask for her hand. When even the girls in the local bawdy house began to hear wedding bells, Kat knew the marriage madness had to end -- but not before she herself got her man!
