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...

No Reservations (A Romantic Comedy)
"Here's the thing though . . ." He trails off thoughtfully and then he looks straight at me. His eyes are steely and that makes me realise the fundamental difference between the young Ryan and this Ryan. He's hardened now. The sweet boy I once knew is probably still in there somewhere but life eventually got to him and he had to toughen up. "I need someone I can rely on. I don't want to take a person on who just decides it's too much hassle a few days or weeks in and just . . . Ghosts me." He finishes. There's a definite challenge there. He's not just talking about the job. He's getting a dig in there about the way I disappeared out of his life. As well as implying I'm generally unreliable . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Iona Stewart is pretty sure she's having a premature midlife crisis. Recently made redundant, permanently unlucky in love, and back living with her parents, she's desperate for a change of scenery. So when an opportunity comes up to work in a hotel in the Highlands, it seems like fate has stepped in. The problem? Her new boss is Ryan Thorne. Her former friend. Her first crush. And the boy who broke her heart nearly 17 years ago. She had no intention of ever seeing him again after that night. And it seems he isn't that keen on having *her* around either. Be prepared for nineties flashbacks, many awkward encounters, and *hopefully* a happy ever after . . . ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ❤️Second Place in the Chick-Lit category in The Pink Cloud Awards❤️ ❤️Second Place in the Chick-Lit category in The Hibiscus Awards❤️ ❤️Winner of Best Opening in Chick Lit in the Berry Pancake awards❤️ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Complete companion novella entitled "No Reservations: Ryan's Version" is now available*Concluida

The Ascent Between
Kiara Steele, a twenty-four-year-old girl, never dreamed her wedding would be sealed with silence instead of love. At twenty-four, she finds herself married to Samuel Stone, an aloof billionaire CEO, eighteen years her senior, a widower with no children, only to save her father's collapsing company. Their union is nothing more than a contract: no touch, no feelings, no expectations. But living under the same roof with a man carved from ice proves far more complicated than Kiara imagined. Samuel keeps his distance, haunted by the loss of his late wife, while Kiara struggles against the loneliness of a loveless home. For six months, they live as strangers bound by vows neither of them wanted. Until one unexpected night breaks every rule. In a story of sacrifice, secrets, and the forbidden emotions, Kiara and Samuel must decide: Will their marriage remain platonic or will fate turn it into something dangerously real? #1st in Developments (13/11/2025) 💖🔥 out of 19.7K stories #1st in Wholesome (14/11/2025) ❤️ out of 15.4K stories #1st in Aloof (17/12/2025) #2nd in Ageisjustanumber (14/11/2025) out of 1.44K stories Hello, dear readers!
