Love, Austen Beginnings / Love, Austen (ePub)

A heartwarming duology about the beginnings of the Love, Austen company, dedicated to matchmaking.

Book 1: Love, Austen
A matchmaker who can't commit, a jaded divorce lawyer, and a mutually beneficial business agreement.

Matchmaker Meg Austen is focused on one thing-finding the financial backing to create the app for her company, Love, Austen. When the investment firm tells her she needs a boyfriend to prove her faith in her matchmaking process, she fears her dreams might never become a reality. Sure, she can match up other people, but love for herself. She's not interested.

Parker Matthews is determined to get the partnership left vacant by his father's death. But when a colleague suggests having a girlfriend will increase his chances to get the partnership, he panics--he's cut women out of his life completely after his last relationship and wouldn't even know who to ask. As they spend real time together, their fake feelings change.

But when their fears about commitment resurface, can they find a way to work past them? Or will Meg and Parker have to find another way to get what they want while mending their broken hearts?

Book 2: Austen, Party of Two

A food truck owner, a restaurant critic and a charity bake-off.

Known as the One-Date Wonder, Lexi Sarmiento threw herself into her food truck pastry business after a bad relationship during culinary school. When her best friend approaches her about helping with a celebrity bake-off for charity, she can't say no. But when she's assigned to coach the gorgeous jerk from a speed dating event the week before, she's ready to throw in the towel.

Fitness guru and local journalist, Brennen Peters jumps at the chance to participate in a bake-off supporting a charity that means a lot to his family. Still mourning the loss of his parents, and taking orders from the girl he scorned on a speed-date-gone-wrong, he isn't sure his nerves can handle the heat in the kitchen, especially when he doesn't know the first thing about yeast and egg wash.

But the more time he spends with Lexi, the more his expectations for love shift, and he finds himself ready to take a leap. Will their budding romance survive their past prejudice?
