Mara has spent the last 10 years traveling the world alone. She's focused solely on what would please her until she gets extremely sick on a ship. She meets an "angel" named Jackrabbit and decides to turn her life over to God. Now she's in Chicago to try and make things up with her sister. Determined that her life needs to be spent alone to atone for her past, she resists her sister's efforts to match Mara with Benjamin.
Benjamin works with Mara's brother-in-law and is instantly attracted to Mara, but she has some matchmaking plans of her own. Mara has decided the best way to ignore her feelings is to match him with the governess her sister employs for the children. Unfortunately, this leaves Benjamin in the middle of the matchmaking, trying to find time with Mara but being forced to spend time with the governess.
This story reminded me a great deal of Jane Austen's Emma. Mara may have competition for the matchmaking process, but she ignores her feelings for quite a while before admitting to what she feels. It was a cute tale that I thoroughly enjoyed. Good Book!
