Mother of three adult children, and Regency romance author, Louise Brooker (AKA Luella Linley) should feel satisfied that she has been instrumental in getting her two daughters happily settled.

His fiancee left him days before the planned wedding and six months on, Pete still hasn't recovered. Louise might be biased, but her responsible, hard-working and handsome son would make a good husband and father-but he's given up after three failed relationships. He is a good catch, but unlikely to be fooled by his mother's scheming and meddling as she did with his sisters. This situation calls for something special. A direct approach. Just like in her novels. Let the parents do the arranging and sort out the wheat from the chaff. This method will take any risk of rejection out of the equation, and let's face it, a mother can tell what's needed for a successful long-term relationship.Carrie Davis dedicated herself to her career long ago.

Carrie's sister, Ellen, knows and when she sees an odd advert in the classified ads she begins to wonder if this is a prank or an opportunity sent from heaven. "e;Wanted. For a social experiment. A family arranged marriage."e;

The temptation to match-make is too much to resist. Louise has one success already under her belt. Now this handsome, successful lawyer has just admitted he isn't married. Single and in possession of a large fortune, Michael Sullivan must be in want of a wife. Louise's second daughter, Chloe, would be just right for him.There is no way Chloe will let her mother organize a blind date for her as she did for her sister. Chloe has her principles-and she has a ridiculous, unjust speeding ticket. The person she needs is a lawyer to help argue her case in court. Is it dishonest, when her mother's lawyer calls and asks her on a date, to agree with ulterior motives? Michael Sullivan has ulterior motives of his own. This all expenses paid trip to the sunny Gold Coast is merely a case of one person helping the other out-isn't it? Everyone else might think they're a couple, but it's just about winning a court case-isn't it? Can Regency romance author, Luella Linley (AKA Louise Brooker) hit the target twice in a row? Meddling in her adult children's lives is almost as much fun as creating fiction characters, except her children have minds of their own and don't always cooperate."Highly recommended for readers who enjoy fun and faith-filled romance stories that tackle real life contemporary issues."

Author Luella Linley has the best of intentions...and can't understand why her children don't appreciate her matchmaking. A fake engagement, a handsome policeman playing the hero-what could possibly go wrong?

Pastor Jon Cathie ';This story of collective support from the community in times of adversity will remind readers that: alone we can do so little, but together, we can do so much.' Pastor Zoran Paunovich
