Heaven's Matchmaker

Running away from a public scandal may be considered cowardly, but to Layla Warton it's her best option.After her politically connected fianc is indicted for a laundry list of crimes, Layla wants to put the public ridicule and shame of her guilty-by-association status behind her.

Hiding out in the town until the scandal dies down is the perfect plan.With the paparazzi hot on her tail, an ancient family home she needs to get livable, and a contractor too hot for her sanity, Layla worries she'll never be able to get her old life back.But would that really be such a bad thing?

Her job as an assistant wedding planner means everything to Charity Quinlan. 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.
