Davis Carmichael doesn't do love. Ever. He'd rather strip naked and crawl through a field of broken glass than give anyone that much control over his head or his heart. The only thing he cares about is his career in journalism. That's it. Period, dot, full stop. That is, until he meets Cristián Baranov, a die-hard Romeo with an uncanny knack for making connections and taming cranky wordsmiths. A man who breaks down Davis' resistance with a sweep of his hand. For one night. Granted, it's a night of marathon sex not to be forgotten… Neither expected they'd meet again, but fate has other plans. Now Davis' job is on the line, with the sacrifice of his pride and an article on modern matchmaking the only thing that can save him. And the matchmaker he's meant to interview in-depth? Cristián. Who, though able to strike matches for everyone else, had given up on finding the one who was made for him. Until he slept with Davis. When Cristián and Davis go head to head over romance and reason in print and in the sheets, sparks aren't just going to fly. They'll ignite.

Author · 118 books
Willa Okati (AKA Will, AKA Daniel) is made of many things: imagination, coffee, stray cat hairs, daydreams, more coffee, kitchen experimentation, a passion for winter weather, a little more coffee, a whole lot of flowering plants and a lifelong love of storytelling. Will's definitely one of the quiet ones you have to watch out for, though he—not she anymore—is a lot less quiet these days.
