Her job as an assistant wedding planner means everything to Charity Quinn. She’s got a bullet point plan for her future and she’s not about to let anything get in the way of her goals. But a drunken hookup with a coworker – a guy she’s had a hate/hate relationship with from the get-go – may put her plan in jeopardy. Charity has to ensure her boss never finds out about her indiscretion. But every day it’s getting harder to hide how much she wants a repeat of that amazing night.
His life is a series of one-night stands and Kolby O’Brian is not about to change his status for anyone – not even the little fireball who’s been the bane of his existence since the first day they met. Why, then, are his eyes always straying to Charity when he should be concentrating on work? And why does being around her suddenly make him want to be a different kind of man? A better one? One who thinks about…the future?
These two polar opposites need to decide if they want a future together or a life without the other in it, because an emotional volcano is churning and it’s about to erupt.

“Why did you do that?” Fury bowled through her lowered voice. Her heart rate was speeding like a freight train, and it wasn’t solely from the encounter with the drunken groomsman.
His thick, arched eyebrows tugged to the center of his forehead. “Why did I–? The guy had you plastered against him, Charity, against your will. What was I supposed to do? Let him assault you?”
“I had it handled, Kolby. I didn’t need any interference from you.”
“How? The guy was twice your size and weight, not to mention piss drunk. You can’t predict what someone like that is going to do.”
“I. Had. It. Handled,” she spat through tight lips. “You didn’t need to ride in on your macho white horse to save me. I’m not a little girl who needs protection from daddy. I can take care of myself.”
The expression on his face went from confusion to hurt and then morphed into anger. Beetled brows tugged down over those blue eyes that haunted her in dreams, the mouth she’d fantasized about pressing her own against, tight at the corners and bent into an upside-down U. His nostrils flared once, then relaxed again when he let out a breath shrouded in annoyance.
It was evident in the derision that framed his expression he didn’t believe she could take care of herself. She braced for a verbal unleashing. Kolby’s ego was a solid wall of masculinity built with a cocky, know-it-all base that he never attempted to hide.
He was everything she despised in a man and it killed her to be so damn drawn to him.
Their working relationship had started out rocky from the first day they’d met. He was the senior employee, fabulous at his job, and had enjoyed a relaxed, flirty relationship with the previous assistant. He’d sized Charity up with those hooded bedroom eyes and she got the feeling he was trying to gage how fast he could get her in his bed.
She’d known and dealt with guys like Kolby O’Brian her entire life. Good looking, cocky, self-assured men who lived life as if it was all going to burn away tomorrow. No long-term relationships, no commitment to anything but themselves and their pleasures. And they went through women like water goes through new pipes – fast and free-falling.
Charity had shaken his hand – ignoring how he held it just a smidge longer than necessary – and then treated him with an air of professional disinterest that had served her well when put in challenging situations during her life.
He’d regarded her with a quizzical eyebrow lift and nothing else.
Working alongside him for three years, watching the endless parade of female wedding guests throw themselves into his waiting and willing arms, grated. He’d never put a move on her, something she was thankful for. At the same time, she couldn’t help the stupid little crush that had developed. When he wasn’t acting like God’s gift to female-kind, he was actually a smart and witty guy, in addition to a talented photographer. She knew the flirting served a purpose with the wedding party attendants when he was photographing them. It relaxed his subjects, and got them to smile naturally, not the fake kind everyone hated seeing in photos.
But still. She wished he could suspend his man-whore ways just once.
“Oh, you had it handled, did you?” His mocking sarcasm chafed. “Exactly how did you have it handled, Charity? Were you gonna throw a drink in his face? Oh wait.” He glanced down at her fisted hands. “No drink? Were you gonna scream?” He looked over one shoulder and then the other. “Sorry, no one around to hear it. Tell me exactly how you were gonna handle a six-foot drunk with dick-lust and no one around to prevent him from doing what he wanted?”
He folded his arms across his massive chest and all she could think of doing was drop kicking him in the balls.
Sanity prevailed, though, and she didn’t. Well…sanity and a serious need to get this wedding ended without the benefit of an ambulance or the police being called.

Growing up the only child of divorced parents she longed for sisters, brothers and a family that vowed to stick together no matter what came their way. Through her books, she has created the families she wanted as that lonely child.

Exclusive Interview with Peggy Jaeger
Q: Why did you write this series?
PJ: When I finished the MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN SERIES, I didn’t think the stories were done. I’d introduced some characters in the books that I felt would benefit from having their own stories, and one of those was local matchmaker Olivia Joyner. As a young widow, she dedicated her life to finding matches for other people, but never herself. I wanted to give her an HEA. I also wanted to make sure the other characters who’d warmed my heart in the series, also found their matches. And they did.
Q: The books in this series are all sweet with heat romances, while you are known for steamier books. Why the departure?
PJ: I would like to say I planned that, but honestly, it’s just the way the stories told themselves to me. For Mix and Match, I had a friends 2 lovers trope working and was waiting for Donovan and Jasmine to get physical. When they didn’t, it seemed, somehow, right, that the story didn’t push them together. I found that this push and pull of will they or wont they actually enhanced the romance for me, so I decided to try it for the next book and then the next. I liked not having them all jump into a physical romance but discover one another through talking, interacting, and helping one another navigate through their issues.
Q: What about small-town romances appeals to you?
PJ: I live in a small town and my husband in very well known by 95% of the populous since he is their eye doctor and has done cataract surgery on almost everyone in town that needed it. I know what small towns are like – the gossip that runs rampant, the feuds that last generations, the way lifelong residents make newbies feel – either good or bad. I like generational stories, and small towns afford me the opportunity to write those as well. Also, because I do live in a small town myself, I know how “things” work and what’s acceptable and isn’t. For instance, I’ve stopped going out to eat with my husband for the past few years because whenever we would be in a restaurant trying to enjoy an evening out together, invariably a patient would stop at our table, tell me husband something about their eyes, and ask for a drive by consult. After a while I got a little sick of this. It’s a blessing that in a small town everyone knows who you are, but it’s also a curse. And that juxtaposition makes for great fiction writing and conflict set-up.
Q: Would you ever use a matchmaker yourself?
PJ: I won’t say no, but I’ve been married for 40 years so by now I’m way off the marriage market. Would I have in my younger years? Maybe. I hate the bar scene, and like Jasmine Green from Mix and Match, dating apps give me hives!
