    About this series

    Most life changes start with a wake up call.

    Lola Turner's wake up call came in the form of saving her politician father one too many times.

    Now she's determined to be "New Lola"-the version of herself that has always been hiding beneath duty, guilt, promises, and secrets since her mother passed away when she was fifteen.

    So even though she's moving on, starting her own bakery on the Ocean View boardwalk, the mess that her father always seems to get himself into still is finding its way to her.

    Ben Coleman left his hometown and the family business that should have been his to pursue his true passion: art and tattooing. Coleman Ink has become his world, and he's tailored the business to fit his life the way he wants it, rather than the life that was originally laid out for him.

    Until early one morning he's woken up by what he thinks is an intruder only to find it's just his new neighbor. His new neighbor, who has no regard for her own safety, wakes up way too early, and seems to have made it her job to tempt him.

    But what happens when the grumpy neighbor decides that it's his job to keep her safe, even if she drives him insane? Will Lola open up and share her burden with someone else?

      Cassandra Reynolds can see a red flag from a mile away. As the owner of The Ex Files, a matchmaking service based in Ocean View, she dates men nearly every day of the week in order to vet them, assuring the matches she makes are perfectly informed and free of heartache. With her job comes pitfalls, though: every man she meets is hiding something, trying to impress, and not showing his true colors. But when she has to attend her father's wedding, the man who once lived his own double life, she realizes after years of matchmaking, she has no date of her own to bring to the event. His sisters want him to have the happily-ever-after their parents do. When mechanic Luke Dawson helps a woman on the side of the road, he didn't think it would be the matchmaker his sisters set him up with. But just one date is all it takes for him to decide that he's not going for a match-he's interested in the matchmaker herself. Now it's his job to convince her to give him a shot without scaring her off. But try after try, he's hitting obstacles in the form of rules she's crafted in order to protect herself. Can he get past her walls and make her see they'd be a perfect match if she'd let herself fall?

      Her mind gets in the way. Gabi has spent her entire life with her head in the clouds, random thoughts interrupting at the worst moments. It's the reason why now, at the age of twenty-eight she still hasn't experience that 'special feeling'-by herself or with a partner. When she attends her best friend and boss's bridal shower, she gets some advice that almost works-until she falls in the shower, breaking her wrist, and landing her in Doctor Vic's Emergency Room. He's looking for a solution. Vic is tired of his mom constantly setting him up on blind dates. His entire existence has been a balancing act of living his life and pleasing his mother. His parents may have chosen doctor for him, but he chose emergency medicine for the chaos and unpredictability he's always craved. The same kind of chaos and unpredictability that Gabi brought with her. When she confesses her current predicament while under anesthesia and then realizes her boss is a matchmaker, he takes it as a sign that they're meant to help each other. Vic will help Gabi learn about her own body (he is a doctor, after all) and Gabi will help keep his mother off his back. But what happens when he realizes the thing holding Gabi back is what he likes most about her? Will Gabi be able to separate how Vic makes her feel physically from what she's feeling emotionally?
