Catching Mr. Perfect

She’s always sacrificed.
But he’s not asking her to.

Opal Hughes just wants a normal life—some fun, a few close friends, maybe even a trip to France. But instead, she’s holding everything together: a high-stress banking job, a grief-stricken, bedridden mom, and her rambunctious five-year-old sister. Her only lifeline? Her boss—a woman so brilliant and commanding, Opal secretly calls her a god. But when that god suddenly quits, Opal’s carefully balanced world begins to unravel—and her job might be next.

Then Denver Russell—grease-stained, quirky, and terrible at timing—shows up at her car window. Distracted by an old nitro race car legend talking about a fire-up, he spills screws across the lot. Her flat tire? Totally his fault. Now he keeps showing up—asking questions, offering help, asking her out.

She doesn’t say yes.
But after one strange morning, something shifts—and nothing feels quite the same.

Can Opal claim the life she longs for, even if her family and work don’t understand?

Catching Mr. Perfect is a heartwarming story about unexpected love, the magic of second chances, and the courage it takes to choose yourself—even when others depend on you.

This book is perfect for fans of Katherine Center’s heart and humor and Abby Jimenez’s lovable-but-messy characters.

About the Author

Anastasia Alexander doesn’t have the answers to life’s love questions, but she does know that love is complex in the twenty-first century. In her books, she explores the richness and juiciness of all the complexity that relationships bring.


Her credentials are two failed marriages—equaling a total of twenty-three years of marriage—and a willingness to believe that maybe a third one will be her lucky number. Or she might compete with Elizabeth Taylor for who can get married the most times. It is yet to be determined which option she’s going to go for, but until then, she pours her passion and sarcasm for relationships into her stories.
