You're My Everything
8 pp · romance

Kitty Andrews runs the summer social scene at Hilltop Haven with a clever scheme: she plays matchmaker, pairing up vacationing guests to ensure everyone has a romantic time. When her boss pressures her to make sure Janice Brent—a wealthy, glamorous newspaper publisher's daughter—has an unforgettable stay, Kitty seizes the moment to introduce her to Rich Hadley, a charming newcomer who seems perfect for the job. But as Kitty watches her plan unfold with ease, she discovers that some matches are harder to make when your own heart's already in the game.

Back-Seat Driver
