She’s a workaholic, who’s never given a relationship the time and attention love requires. He’s a newly divorced hockey player that can’t believe he has to start over. Delaney has never been good at relationships. Even swiping right is getting old. Guys don’t really get her. Maybe she doesn’t get them either. She likes things that are concrete, like math, computers, and algorithms. No wonder she’s single. That’s until her friend Savannah opens up a matchmaking agency, insists Delaney be a part of it, and tells her she’ll set her up with the perfect man. Pierce thought he was happily married until he found his ex cheating on him. Now he’s back to bachelor life and he’s not happy about it. Women chase him because he’s rich and in the NHL. Not because they want something deeper. Instead of turning to a dating service to find the one, he decides to try a matchmaker instead. When Pierce and Delaney get matched, they couldn’t be more different, and yet they click. So much so, they end up in bed on their first date. What neither predicted was a broken condom and an unexpected pregnancy. Delaney isn’t convinced that raising a child with a stranger is a good idea. Pierce is ready to take things to the next level. She gives him one weekend to change her mind. He wants her, their baby, and the life they’d created together. Only Pierce would fall for the one woman who’d make him work for it.

Emma Tharp is the USA Today Bestselling Author of The Bluff Harbor Series, Keeping It Casual, Drawn to Dark, and the McLoughlin Brother Series. She was raised in upstate New York. Being an only child, she spent a great deal of time alone, dreaming up characters who would keep her company on long family road trips. Putting her writing on the back burner, she went to college and became a chiropractor. After spending twelve years healing patients, Emma decided—with the help of her amazingly supportive husband—to use the creative side of her brain and let her characters come to the page. If she’s not writing, Emma can be found at the gym, one of her kids sporting events, Starbucks, or a live music event. A perfect day for Emma would be spent at her lake house with her husband, two ginger-haired children, and Vizsla, reading a book and drinking a large cup of coffee (or wine) with music playing in the background.
