The Matchmaker and The Marine

By Lucinda Race

She vowed never to love again. His career in the Marines crushed his ability to love. Can undeniable chemistry and a leap of faith overcome their past?

​​​​​​​Widowed matchmaker Melinda Phillips wants everyone to find the kind of love she once had. She's now committed to a solitary life in her small seaside town, and her skill at pairing couples has enabled her business to thrive. But when she trips into the arms of a handsome Marine at a client’s wedding, she can't help but know something has shifted in her life.

Even after a harrowing injury cost him his career in the military, Adam Bell is a Marine through and through. But the loss of his leg is a constant reminder of the men he couldn’t save on the battlefield, and the subsequent loss of his girlfriend as he worked to adapt to his new body left him pledging to protect his heart as fiercely as he had once defended his country. But the chivalrous interlude with the lovely Melinda makes him wonder, if he gave up on love too soon.

When Adam hires Melinda to find the woman of his dreams and as their friendship blossoms, she’s surprised to discover she is his ideal match—and she’s rarely wrong. The tortured Marine believes the emotional toll of his war experience will cost him everything once again.

Can two broken souls let go of their traumatic pasts to give love a second chance?
