About MISS MATCH Billionaire CEO Luke Ryder doesn’t want to hire his best friend, Brooke, as his matchmaker. Not when he’s been in love with her for eight years. Too bad she doesn’t see him as relationship material and is engaged to another man. If the matchmaking company she works for closes, Brooke is out of a job, and Luke is out a best friend. There will be nothing stopping her from moving to Italy with her fiancé. And Luke isn’t about to let that happen. Brooke’s dream career may be crumbling, and she will do anything to keep Toujour in the black. Even recruit Luke, America’s favorite bachelor, as her next client. Surely his perfect smile and swollen bank account will send clients swarming to their doors. But when matching up Luke works a little too well, Brooke wonders if she’s with the right man. Maybe she should finally forget Luke’s playboy image and admit he’s changed. All Brooke has to decide is if she’s willing to risk her heart.Excerpt from MISS MATCH
Brooke focused on her laptop screen. “I already filled in all the basics for you—name, age, occupation, that sort of thing. Hope you don’t mind.”
Luke put a hand to his chest in mock horror. “I thought only a client could fill out this questionnaire. Isn’t that what you told me last night?”
She rolled her eyes. “I can delete it all and we can start over.”
“No, no.” He sniffed dramatically. “I can tell you’re trying to get rid of me as quickly as possible.” And there he was—a glimpse of the old Luke. Brooke grinned. Maybe this matchmaking thing would be good for him after all.
“Okay, first question. What qualities are you looking for in a partner?”
“Oh, that’s easy. Someone hot.”
Brooke burst out laughing. “And what exactly is your definition of ‘hot?’”
“I’m looking at it.”
Brooke’s laughter died. Her cheeks heated, and she looked away. “Be serious.”
“I am.”
“Luke, you can’t tell me I’m hot.”
“Why not? It’s true.”
“Well, because . . .” Because Antonio would hate it. Because I’m glad you find me attractive. “Because I’m engaged.”
Luke raised an eyebrow. “Being engaged doesn’t diminish your hotness. It’s not like there’s a rule
against complimenting you."
"Maybe there should be.” Her heart pounded.
“We don’t want to mess up our lucky number fourteen by adding another rule.”
“Fourteen isn’t a lucky number.”
“Relax, Brooke.” Luke motioned to her laptop. “Honestly, I want someone compassionate. Someone loyal. I want a girl who cares more about others than she cares about herself. Someone who likes me for me and not for my money.”
“That’s a pretty generic answer.”
He shrugged. “I could make up something better.”
