LITTLE MATCHMAKERS Maddie O'Rourke's orphaned half brother and half sister have arrived safely in Seattle - with a man they hope she'll wed! Though Michael Haggerty's not the escort she planned for, Maddie allows him to work off his passage by assisting in her bakery... and helping care for her siblings. But she'll never risk her newfound independence by marrying the strapping Irishman - or anyone else. In New York, Michael ran afoul of a notorious gang. Traveling west was a necessity, not a choice. The longshoreman grew fond of his young charges, and now he's quickly becoming partial to their beautiful sister, too. So when danger follows him, threatening Maddie and the children, he'll do anything to protect them - and the future he hopes to build.
