An Unexpected Match: A Clean and Uplifting Romance (A Matchmaker Knows Best Romance Book 3)

When a brooding former army captain walks into her workplace swinging a hammer, Kinsey Zaleski's carefully built world of peace and routine is about to get demolished along with the office walls.

Kinsey has worked hard for the stability she now enjoys as a dental receptionist in her small town, thriving alongside the foster father who once gave her a second chance at life. She's warm, spirited, and determined to keep things exactly as they are. Hunt Vargo, the contractor hired to renovate the office, is everything she isn't — guarded, gruff, and carrying wounds from his military service that have clearly never healed. They clash from the moment they meet, their personalities striking sparks that neither of them wants to acknowledge.

But when a dangerous figure from Kinsey's past resurfaces and shatters her sense of security, Hunt does something neither of them expects: he offers to help. His solution? Pose as her boyfriend to keep the threat at bay. Suddenly, two people who could barely stand each other are sharing stolen glances, lingering touches, and conversations that go far deeper than either planned.

This clean and wholesome small-town romance proves that the people who challenge us most are sometimes the ones who see us clearest. Hunt and Kinsey's story is tender, tense, and completely impossible to put down — because when guarded hearts finally crack open, what spills out looks a whole lot like love.
