The Heart Match

2022

A long lost jade necklace. One chance to find it. And two hearts at risk. Izzie Davis might be broke but she will never accept charity. Which is a problem, because the cute guy she met visiting Maple Gardens Assisted Living could solve all her financial woes with a click of his fingers. Keeping her mom’s fees up to date takes almost all her meagre income but she's seen what money does to some people and will never seek out wealth. Bart Brown inherited more money than he knows what to do with, but the one person he’d love to spend it on happens to be a spitfire who sticks to her principles. The only way she’ll date him is if he promises he won’t ever spend money on her. His generous heart doesn't quite understand but she is worth the compromise. But when the family heirloom Izzie's been desperate to buy back for her mom is up for auction, Bart wants to change the rules. And she has to decide if love matters more than principles because now there’s more at stake than a necklace. Part Cinderella retelling, part billionaire romance, and a touch of enemies to lovers... all wrapped up in a clean and sweet contemporary romance with a swoony happy ever after. About the series: Maple Gardens has the best of care for its residents. Staff who go the extra mile. And a small group of elderly friends who want nothing more than to see their loved ones find romance. Even if it takes a bit of a nudge sometimes. And a whole lot of meddling.

He just works there and has enough on his plate being a newly single dad. It is one thing to spend time together because they have to. But as Quinne rediscovers her love of cooking, and Peter watches his daughter come out of her shell, they move past their differences. A long way past, as unexpected feelings grow. But when an accident reminds them just how different they are, will the matchmaking skills of the Maple Gardens residents be enough to bring together this unlikely pair?
