      Will he be the last bachelor standing?

      Wedding planner Diana Greer still believes in happily-ever-after. She’s just given up finding her own dream man. Until an internet dating site matches her up with her ideal mate. Too bad he’s someone she already knows…. In college, Scott Thomas was the big man on campus—arrogant and full of himself. So why is one kiss from the high-flying bachelor making Diana’s toes curl?

      A failed trip to the altar has cured Scott of believing in storybook endings. So he’s stunned when someone meets his unattainable requirements for romance. The brainy bookworm he knew has morphed into a beautiful, desirable woman. But Diana isn’t ready to trust him. And then Scott unveils his secret. Now Diana wonders if she’ll forever plan strangers’ weddings and never her own….

      Diana didn’t wait for an answer. She turned on her heel and marched up the sanctuary aisle.

      Scott caught her at the door and turned her to face him. “There is only one lie in my profile,” he said.

      “Which one?” she asked.

      “This one.” He pulled her into his arms and delivered a kiss that curled her toes. Diana thought that phrase was the stuff of books or movies. It wasn’t a real condition. People’s toes didn’t curl. But hers did. Her arms went around him. This wasn’t like the kiss at the wedding rehearsal. There they’d had an audience, and even though she hadn’t remembered they were present, Scott had. Here there was no one. They were together and alone. His mouth took hers in the sight of stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings and the polished wood of the entry hall. Diana didn’t think of where they were. She didn’t think at all. She felt. She let his mouth tease hers and sweep deeply into a recess of pleasure that had her groaning with delight.

      Dear Reader,

      When you hear the word bride, don’t happy emotions and images of a white gown with a long train come to mind? Your wedding is the happiest day of your life, and the planning of that event is worth all the trials you go through to get to it. In His Love Match, our heroine Diana gets to experience that happy feeling every time she helps a bride make the memories of a lifetime.

      However, for Diana, those memories are on hold until an old college friend enters her life in the most unusual way. I hope you enjoy a good wedding.

      Happy endings,

      Shirley Hailstock

      I’d like to thank Hilda of the Hildarling Bridal Shop.

      Hilda was kind enough to give me a job in her shop when

      I was thinking of buying the establishment.

      While I never went into that business, it was great fun

      and proved a valuable experience for this and my other

      novels regarding brides, grooms, weddings and the

      accoutrements of marriage.

      To my sister Marilyn for all the joys and memories

      we made and for all her acts of kindness.
