The Match Game - D. W. Brooks

Grace Robertson wasn't looking for love. She was looking for peace.

Her marriage ended years ago. Her dating life has been a series of lessons in what she doesn't want. So, when her friends present her with a matchmaker, Grace accepts. Maybe it's time to let someone else handle the vetting process.

Then she meets him.

Lucien Sloane is everything a matchmaker might have found for her-accomplished, attentive, genuinely interested in building something meaningful. Their chemistry is undeniable, but more than that, he makes her feel seen. Understood. Like the version of herself she's worked hard to become is exactly who he wants to know.

Grace knows she should slow down. She knows she should be cautious. But for once, she lets herself trust the connection.

That trust will be tested when she discovers Luke is keeping his own secrets. And Grace will have to decide if what they have is strong enough to survive the truth-or if she's been fooling herself all along.

The Match Game is about the complexity of building love when you're old enough to know better, brave enough to try anyway, and wise enough to demand honesty even when it hurts.
