Catherine's Unconventional Quest for Love

di Susan Hart (Autore)

Susan Hart, 2024

In the late 19th century, Catherine Lewis was a woman of means with an adventurous spirit. Though many friends eagerly recommended potential suitors from their social circles, the conventional path held little appeal for the free-spirited Catherine. Instead, she turned to a reputable marriage broker, determined to forge her own romantic destiny. The marriage broker, Mrs. Beaumont, was a formidable woman with a keen eye for matchmaking. Catherine found herself seated in the cozy parlor of Mrs. Beaumont's townhouse, surrounded by shelves of leather-bound ledgers filled with names and descriptions of eligible bachelors. As she sipped her tea, Catherine couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement at the prospect of finding a partner on her own terms. Mrs. Beaumont cleared her throat and began to discuss potential matches for Catherine, detailing their backgrounds, interests, and financial standings. But none of the names seemed to ignite the spark of curiosity within Catherine's heart. As the afternoon sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow across the room, a new possibility caught Catherine's attention. Catherine was bored and found herself looking at the intricate Persian carpet in Mrs. Beaumont's living room. After poring over the broker's extensive ledger of bachelors for hours, one name caught Catherine's eye - Boyd Hill. A well-established rancher in his early 40s, Boyd cut a dashing figure. With vast lands under his ownership and a reputation for fair dealings, he seemed the ideal partner for an intrepid woman like Catherine. Though Boyd's beloved wife had passed a few years prior, leaving him without children, Catherine sensed this rugged widower could provide the adventure and companionship she craved.
