Settingup Stories

For centuries, young boys and girls have called upon the Matchmaker to find them their perfect match. But what none of them realize is that the Matchmaker has a brother, the Patchmaker. Once she finds them a match, it's up to the Patchmaker to fix any problems along the way. But the Patchmaker has his own problems to take care of. And he sure isn't prepared for them. "So he's a bit of a fixer-upper." "He's a sociopath, he doesn't feel anything." "Like I said, he's a bit of a fixer-upper."

Jo Torres has known Nic Salazar all her life-the annoyingly hyperactive boy across the street who's always been more than a stranger but less than a friend. When a credit conflict lands Jo the unexpected role of "ball girl" for the high school soccer team, she's suddenly thrust into Nic's world. As team captain, Nic proposes a deal: he'll help her navigate her new duties if she agrees to be his wingman in pursuing her best friend, Violet. Just as Jo settles into this arrangement, newcomer Jessie Cruz joins the team, igniting a spark in Jo she thought had long since faded. After two years of numbness and abandoning her passion for guitar and music, Jo feels something stirring again. As Jo and Nic spend early mornings, long practices, and altering moments together, their simple deal grows complicated. Senior year unfolds in a whirlwind of revelations and chaos, testing old bonds and forging unexpected new connections.

To end the conflict marriage is the last hope. (DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A HISTORICAL FICTION BASE ON IMAGINATION ONLY. IF YOU FIND HISTORICAL RELEVANCE IT IS ONLY TO MAKE THE STORY MORE REALISTIC.)
