[ONGOING]

Juliette Idling takes her job very seriously. And she should- she is, after all, the top matchmaker in Brooklyn, armed with a 97% success rate and a secret for success. She's matched everyone from senators to her own grandmother, and she's not going to let one difficult (attractive, but difficult) client get in the way of her success.

Liam Payne is bored. He writes the birth and celebrations column at the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, and this is definitely not what he wants to do. So naturally, he is thrilled when he is offered the chance to uncover the secret of the best matchmaker in Brooklyn. 
Liam didn't mean to be a terrible client, but suddenly Juliette isn't so sure about her 97% success rate. 

It's a clash of two people who are much more similar than they realize, or care to admit.All Rights Reserved

Rejected 22 Times by isabella9893

In a romance that seems so simple, it sure is made complicated by Sophia and Liam. With Sophia's stubbornness and Liam's persistence, they both complicate things even further. When all the pieces of their broken relationship start to fall into place, one of them never fails to screw it up. Usually, that one is Sophia because not only does she refuse to admit the truth to Liam, but she won't even admit it to herself. On the other hand, Liam isn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve, but throughout this story, he learns to battle his biggest fear: rejection. **This story has nothing to do with who Liam Payne has dated. It was originally published in December 2012.**
