A breezy, opposites-attract romance where rigid plans melt in the face of spontaneous chemistry.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like wrapping yourself in the comforting familiarity of a classic romantic comedy. The narrative moves at a brisk, engaging clip, driven by the playful friction between a rigid, status-obsessed hero and a delightfully chaotic, fun-loving heroine. It is a sun-warmed, cheerful experience that leans heavily into the cozy predictability of the matchmaking trope, where every attempt to find the perfect, suitable partner only highlights the magnetic pull of the entirely wrong one. The prose is straightforward and dialogue-heavy, keeping the focus tightly on the emotional push-and-pull. It is the perfect, breezy escape for readers who love watching a grumpy pragmatist slowly unravel and surrender to unexpected, joyful romance.

About the book
Unsuitable...but irresistible! Marc wanted a sleep, sophisticated woman from the right social background to marry and have children with, but he was finding it practically impossible! He was finally offered a solution in the guise of fun-loving Rennie Morgan, who certainly wasn't suitable herself - but had lots of eligible friends!
Marc suggested that in return for his canceling a business debt she owed him, she should help him choose a bride. It seemed like a great idea - until he started thinking more about kissing Rennie than he did about finding his perfect wife!
