The first rule of matchmaking - trust your instincts.

When top chef Jake Sinclair steps into the fortune teller's waiting room for his monthly reading, he hadn't anticipated a delay, or that the delay would be for him. 

The fortune teller is expecting someone. 

Several minutes later, Ebony enters the shop. It's the last place she wants to be on a Friday night, but her Aunt - a master matchmaker - has ordered Ebony to seek council about her failing career. Even Ebony can't deny the truth. She is a terrible matchmaker. No, make that the worst matchmaker in history. 

As for her own love life, that was over some time ago, and Ebony has taken up a 'strictly no men' vow. But she has never been in a waiting room with Jake...
