Haunted by the death of her sister, Finola Shanahan has resolved that she's not worthy of a family of her own and commits to spending her days caring for immigrants in the slums. 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.

Is this considerd a christian book? A book full of lusting and arrogancy. The characters don't even have a conversion from their unbiblical ways. I have the first books of Jody, which I really enjoyed. But it seems like the stories are getting more sex-driven and have a very small amount of faith throughout the book. Big red lights for me that the mayority of the (christian) readers didn't mind or were set of by this story. I would say this belongs in the secular section. I didn't enjoy this narration by the narrator. A bit boring.
