The Real Thing is the first novel in beloved bestselling author Barbara Delinsky's Matchmaker trilogy about two lost souls who find themselves stuck together on a remote island… After breaking her leg, aerobics instructor Deirdre Joyce was fit company for no one. Especially not for equally disgruntled Neil Hersey, whose reputation as a lawyer had been unjustly tarnished. Craving solitude and healing, both Deirdre and Neil turned to their friend—and cagey matchmaker—Victoria Lesser, who owns property on a remote island. But once they're stranded together off the coast of Maine, the two do nothing but fight…and fight…until they must fight off an attraction neither of them can deny…

But a Caribbean treasure hunt? With an honest-to-goodness pirate at the helm? Ahoy! Rugged, sexy Noah VanBaar did not know what he was in for when he boarded the beat-up old sloop with no engine.

Could it be that, after years of failed matchmaking attempts, Victoria's finally got it right? Originally published as A Single Rose.
