When Nate agrees to babysit his aunt's esteemed matchmaking business, he doesn't expect a computer error to force him to pose as a fake match to one of her intolerable clients, Riley, creating a messy mismatch that might just turn perfect fit. Standalone in the Mismatched series On June 24, content from chapter 5 onwards will only be available to redeemers. Now's the time to catch up to the story and read it while it's free! Already purchased a chapter? No worries-you won't need to pay for it again. *** A small-town summer spent matchmaking desperate couples is Nate's worst nightmare, but he's desperate for a little cash and a chance to prove to his family that he isn't a complete failure. He assumes he's in for quiet days of cheesy love connections, but his world is flipped upside down when the matchmaking program is unable to find a match for Riley Jenkins. Terrified to tarnish his aunt's perfect matchmaking record, Nate takes matters into his own hands, posing as Riley's match. Riley is everything Nate isn't-creative, put together, into intellectual debate...oh, and completely intolerable. But with Riley holding a business-ruining review over Nate's head, winning him over becomes a nearly impossible challenge Nate can't afford to fail. What Nate doesn't expect is for his dream guy act to lead to cute dates and sparks of real attraction. Faced with the fear of falling for Riley for real, can Nate confront the consequences of his lies for a shot at love? Or will their mismatch be a costly mistake after all?

"Being reunited with your childhood best friend after eight years apart? Sounds like a heart-warming story. Finding out that said best friend is now a complete jerk who's determined to make your life hell? Not so much." Georgie and Connor were once inseparable. Best friends from birth, they did everything together - well, that was until Connor's dad got a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity and the family was forced to relocate to New York. At age sixteen, Georgie's life is totally different - her main goal being to keep her head down and escape the brutalities of high school with as little emotional scarring as possible. Balancing school, work and her dwindling social life is enough of a challenge, but it's about to get a bit more complicated when her conceited ex-best friend gets thrown into the mix. Maybe friendship should come with an instruction booklet.

She was known as The Ghost, the most fearsome poison assassin in Bido Kingdom. No one lives after she attacks. No one can buy her loyalty. No one can control her. No one knows her whereabouts. She comes and goes as she pleases, blowing in with the eastern wind and leaving with the northern storm. But before she was The Ghost, she was just Du Hongmo. An orphan picked up by a family of farmers that raised her until an unfortunate event killed her foster family. Pitiful, alone, and betrayed by humanity, she survived on the knowledge that the only person she could rely on is herself. Du Hongmo meets a Goryo. A vengeful ghost who ties her soul with Hongmo and teaches Hongmo everything she knows. "The world never wanted you. You have a cursed fate. The world brought you into this world unwanted and now the world wants to throw you away without even a chance to fight for yourself." The Goryo whispered into her ear. "Meeting me is your fate bringing us together. Du Hongmo, do you know what your name means? It means Poison Iris. And before I became a Goryo, I was a poison expert. I'll impart on to you my knowledge so you'll have a fighting chance in this cursed world. And in return, you'll feed me the souls of those you killed." Forced into an unwanted life and death contract with the Goryo, Hongmo strives to live a conscientious life while walking on a thin line of good and evil. On her journey to find herself and her place in the world, she will encounter the men who will stand beside her as she takes revenge on the man who lied, chased, and broke her.
