Book Description
OOPS! I just ruined Seattle’s hottest tech billionaire’s $1000 shirt at my ex-husband’s engagement party… to my cousin!
Instead of suing me, Grayson Dixon whispered four dangerous words: “You owe me now.” Now, I’m the infamous CEO’s fake girlfriend for the next six weeks.
There’s only one problem: His AI claims we’re perfect for each other—and I’m the bumbling, over-forty matchmaker who secretly set up his ex with her soulmate.
Now his algorithm is tracking our every move, and I’m running out of ways to hide the truth…
A full-length stand-alone. Perfect for fans of slow burn, billionaire rom-coms, big, meddling families, hot kisses in coat rooms, and cozy HEAs guaranteed.

This book had me hooked from the first page! The fake dating setup was brilliant, and watching Calli and Grayson try to fool everyone (including themselves) about their feelings was delightful. The AI matchmaking twist added such a fun layer to the story!

The chemistry between the grumpy tech billionaire and the sunshine matchmaker was off the charts! I loved how they only had one brain cell when together – their banter had me laughing out loud. Another fantastic addition to the series!

After loving Book 1, I couldn’t wait for this one and it didn’t disappoint! Seeing the gang from the first book made it even better. The matchmaker heroine hiding the fact that she set up the hero’s ex was such a great conflict. Loved every minute!

This series just keeps getting better! The fake dating at the ex’s engagement party was hilarious, and I loved the AI algorithm subplot. The 40+ characters felt real and relatable. Can’t wait for the next book in the series!

Chapter 1: Three Billionaires and a Maybe
Downtown Seattle, WA
GRAYSON
The thing about algorithms is they can predict almost anything—market trends, weather patterns, consumer behavior. What they can’t predict? The exact moment your ex-fiancée announces her engagement to her startup co-founder during your dating app’s launch week.
At forty-five, I thought I was past caring about such announcements.
Apparently not.
“Statistically speaking—” I begin.
“I swear to God, Gray, if you say ‘statistically speaking’ one more time, I’m uninviting you from my engagement party,” my best friend Alex interrupts, pacing holes into his office’s Italian marble floor.
The Seattle skyline behind him is a wash of grays and whites, the early January afternoon already fading into the perpetual twilight of Pacific Northwest winter.
“You haven’t even proposed yet,” my other best friend Connor points out from the couch, not looking up from his phone. “Can’t un-invite him from a party that doesn’t exist.”
“Can’t I, though?” Alex runs his hands through his dark hair for approximately the fortieth time in the past hour. I know because I’ve been counting. It’s what I do—collect data points, analyze patterns, predict outcomes. Right now, all data points to my best friend having a nervous breakdown before he can propose to his girlfriend Mac.
