Love was a risk she refused to take-a wound she refused to reopen. But then he walked into her life. Persistent. Unapologetic. Willing to fight for the pieces she thought were too broken to fix.

A gripping, emotional journey of healing, vulnerability, and the kind of love that refuses to give up. The story is unedited. It may have grammatical mistakes and some spelling mistakes.

When a real estate billionaire attempts to evict a millionaire matchmaker's business from his new building, they clash in a deal of head vs. heart, only to discover they're each other's perfect match. Standalone in The Elite Matchmaker Series *** Love is Iris' business. Boston's elite matchmaker has built a thriving company by finding perfect pairings. Her expansion dreams screech to a halt when she finds a hot, sexy stranger sitting in her office like he owns the place. Turns out, he does, and the new building owner, Xavier, wants her "scam" business out. The man wouldn't know love if it sat on his infuriatingly handsome face. Locked in a heated argument, Iris proposes an impossible deal: three months to find the perfect match for any client he chooses. When she succeeds, he'll publicly endorse her matchmaking, but if she fails, she'll pack up without a fight. The last thing she expects is the billionaire to call her bluff and nominate himself for the bet. Botched screenings, auto-rejections-Xavier sabotages every potential match thrown his way. But as their conflict sparks something far more dangerous than competitive rivalry, and succumbing to their steamy, forbidden attraction provokes every emotion Iris has sworn off, she faces an even bigger problem. With the deal clock ticking, breaking her cardinal rule-never fall for a client-is the one match she can't afford to make.

She always thought she had time to figure life out. Living with her older sister, Hyacinth, meant a mix of love, arguments, and familiarity-until Hyacinth dropped a bombshell. She was married.

One moment, she's dealing with the fallout of Hyacinth's choices; the next, she's posing for engagement photos with a man meant for her sister. She is not the bride. She is definitely not supposed to be here. But for the sake of keeping everything from falling apart, she plays along.
