The Matchmaker Maneuver

Sometimes love begins with a little friendly blackmail...


The historic Madrigal Theater in the heart of downtown Wishful is on the verge of closing its doors. Piper Parish is on a mission to save it—even if it means pulling a little deception to get her best friend back on the stage where she had her heart broken. It's all for a good cause.


When new-to-town newspaperman Myles Stewart catches on to his co-star's shenanigans, he’s torn between blowing the whistle or grabbing a front-row seat to the show. He's never been able to resist a story... and he's not sure he wants to resist Piper.


As Myles and Piper find themselves entangled both on-stage and off, the plot thickens, because sparks are flying. Will the outcome of this matchmaking mission be two romances or a comedy of errors?


The Matchmaker Maneuver is a companion novella running concurrent to Be Careful, It's My Heart and is a backstory prequel. As such, it ends on a cliffhanger that resolves in Myles and Piper's full novel, Just For This Moment.
