She’s a hopeless romantic...for everyone but herself. Can the least romantic man alive convince her love isn’t just for other people? Willow There are certain expectations when you’re born into a multigenerational family of matchmakers, which is why I fled my hometown and tried to build a life of my own. But it turns out matchmaking is hard to quit, and I can’t stop trying to match the customers at the bakery I manage—including my boss and the tea shop owner next door—even though I’m hopeless at love. So it seriously crimps my style when Alex Hunter starts coming around, working on his book at the bakery. He’s hot, grumpy, and thinks romance is a dirty word. Worse, he keeps distracting our customers. He needs to go away. Which means someone needs to matchmake him. And I’m just the girl for the job. Alex I’m a writer who can’t write, and lo and behold, I meet a matchmaker who’s allergic to love. Me being me, I fall for her. Most of the people in this town seem insane, but I have to turn my frown upside down and show Willow Mayberry that matchmakers deserve love too. **An interconnected standalone in the Bad Luck Club series.**

Matchmaking leads to mischief at Rosings Park. While Lizzy is at Hunsford to visit Charlotte, she becomes good friends with Anne de Bourgh. Anne reveals a shocking secret collection of tawdry romance novels, and the women soon form their own book society. The merriment is interrupted by the arrival of Mr. Darcy and his cousin, Richard. Lizzy realizes Anne has a tendre for the dashing colonel, and Anne seems to think Lizzy is in love with Mr. Darcy. How perfectly preposterous. Mr. Darcy maintains his distrust of Jane’s feelings and believes Lizzy is pursuing the colonel. He is determined to thwart that, of course. Amid mischief and matchmaking from all sides, will there be a triple wedding in the future, or are Lizzy and Fitzwilliam too stubborn to admit their feelings and take steps toward a happy future? While Abbey sometimes writes sweet JAFF, this is strictly SENSUAL.
