The Matchmakers
Nick Garret is jaded, cynical, footloose and corruptible. He’s flypaper for females, and he likes it that way. They stick for a while then fly away. So does he. Then one rain-slick night, a young woman steps in front of his pickup truck, and his jaded, cynical life takes a sharp swerve toward trouble.
Calliope is a banished Fae on probation for granting a wish gone bad. Her punishment is Nicholas Garret, deemed unredeemable by Freya, the Fae Goddess of Love. If she fails to help him pair three couples in everlasting bliss, he’s doomed to never experience real love. And she will share his fate—as a mortal.
Nick can’t decide if this charming, exasperating woman is a dream come true, or a saucy, sexy nightmare sent to drive him insane. Yet something about her makes him want to rise to her challenge. He’ll do anything to make her stick around a while.

Excerpt:
“After Freya stepped in and helped me set things right, and after an eternity of heated debate, it was decided that my punishment for breaking the rules was…you.”
“Me?” He laughed, and the deep sound rumbled pleasantly. How could a man with a laugh like that be all bad? “Sweet cheeks, I’ve been a lot of things to a lot of women, but I’ve never been anyone’s punishment. I’d say you made out on the deal.”
“Oh please.”Such arrogance. Nick’s biggest problem was that he liked himself for the wrong reasons. His sex appeal and charm were undeniable to any human female, of course, but as Freya had explained to Callie, those shallow qualities were all he had. There was nothing underneath, or very little anyway, that could be salvaged into a loving, caring soul.
“You’re my punishment because you’re a hopeless case. Or nearly hopeless.”
“A hopeless case of what?” He laughed again and rose, turning his back on her in a show of trust she hadn’t expected so quickly. He opened the fridge again and fished out a third beer, which he offered to her. “You need this more than I do.”
“No, thank you. Alcohol does bad things to Fae. Now, back to you. You’re a hopeless case because you’ve been decreed an enemy of true love.”
