Blurb
Julie Marone
isn’t your ordinary matchmaker. Instead of setting up singles, she matches
already-happy couples with their dream homes. It’s her calling. Her gift. And
since she lost the other half of her own happy couple, it’s become her passion.
Cody Brown
isn’t your ordinary cowboy. Instead of roping runaway steers, he wrangles sick
kids and strung-out junkies as an ER doc. It’s his job. His responsibility. And
since his brother lost his wife to a drunk driver, it’s his mission.
When Cody
moves from Austin to Boston, he wants Julie to find him a condo, and fast. But
she’s got issues with that. Because not only is Cody single, he’s a doctor to
boot, and ever since her fiancé died, she’s got a major grudge against doctors.
Cody charms
her into breaking her “couples-only” rule, but when he angles to be her date
for her sister’s Christmas Eve wedding, he finds out Julie’s “no-doctor” rule
is unbending. Still, he’s not quitting, because as hard as Julie fights it,
there’s heat between them. If Cody has his way, they’ll be a couple by
Christmas, and the next dream house Julie finds will be their own.
EXCERPT 1
Outside, a sleety December drizzle
came down from a leaden sky. Cars shissed past, spraying sludge. She sprinted
next door to the Plaza and marched straight up to the desk. “I’m looking for
Dr. Brown,” she informed the pretty brunette with the “Ashley” nametag. “Can
you ring his room?”
Ashley broke into a smile. “Oh,
Cody's not in his room. He went down the street to Starbucks.” Looking up over
Julie's shoulder, her smile widened. “Here he comes now. And he’s got my latte.
Isn’t he sweet?” She sighed.
Julie turned around. And sure enough,
here came Cody, swaggering across the ultra-opulent lobby, a dozen gilt-framed
mirrors ricocheting his reflection off every wall. Even if she’d tried, she
couldn’t escape the golden hair, the stubbly sun-kissed jaw. She couldn’t
ignore the nut-hugger jeans that served up his package on a plate, and the
battered leather jacket, unzipped to display a rain-spattered T-shirt plastered
to his paving-stone abs.
Ashley sighed again.
