The Matchmaker's Match

Since the messy breakdown of her first (and only) relationship, Alice Attwood has sworn off men – for good. The only love she’s interested in is other people’s, which is why she puts all her time, effort and energy into her exclusive match-making service, ‘The Attachment Agency’. Running her business with clockwork precision, Alice sees herself as independent and successful; someone who can do everything on their own. She needs no one – well, apart from Lyndsey, her long-suffering assistant.
But then Alice’s perfectly constructed world receives an unwelcome blast from the past: suddenly, the one thing keeping her sane, her beloved agency, is under threat. With no time to spare, Alice takes on the challenge to save her business, and, more terrifying still, finds she has to rely on others to do it.
Amidst this confusion, Alice is thrown back into a world she swore she’d never set foot on again: one with the potential for love. Alice has to decide whether the juice is worth the squeeze, or whether going it alone is the only path for her. To get her life back on track and overcome the obstacles in her way, Alice will have to use every skill at her disposal, every favour owed and every trick in the book to rise to the occasion… and who knows, she may even get more than she bargained for in the process.
Will Alice be able to do this? Or has the matchmaker met her match?
