This matter of marriage - Debbie Macomber

Perfect for fans of Maeve Binchy' - Candis

In search of the perfect husband

The alarm on Hallie McCarthy's biological clock is buzzing. She's hitting the big three-0 and there's no prospect of marriage, no man in sight. But Hallie's got a plan. She's giving herself a year to meet her very own Mr Right.
Except all her dates are disasters. Too bad she can't just fall for Steve Marris, her good-looking neighbour in the close-knit community of Willow Woods. The only problem is that Steve's not her type and he's trying to win back his ex-wife, who's busy getting married-to somebody else.
Anyway, Hallie and Steve are just friends. But sometimes falling in love with the person you least expect can be the greatest love of all.
