Hidden Beauty by T. J. Robertson

Depressed and disappointed over her inability to find a soul-mate, Jane Roberts seeks the help of a psychiatrist only to find out that he needs therapy more than she does.

A steady stream of suitors begins showing up at her door and, suddenly finding herself the hunted instead of the hunter, she has only to decide which one of them will make the best husband.
