The Matchmaker Pamela Dumond

USA Today Bestselling author, Pamela DuMond, pitched the real-life ERIN BROCKOVICH story to 'Hollywood', where it became the hit movie.

Now she brings you the steamy, STAND ALONE, Rom-Com THE MATCHMAKER: A Playing Dirty Novel.

Aiden Black thought he'd left his past behind when he abandoned the priesthood. He channeled his desire to help others by creating WGA -- Chicago's premiere matchmaking agency. Aiden's the expert at finding true love for his clients but he's put his own needs on hold for a Very. Long. Time.

Violet Accardi doesn't want to settle down and be a Mafia princess - she's busy building her own sportswear company. Problem is her family's a bit controlling: Mom wants grand babies. Uncle Vincent promised Violet's hand in marriage to the son of a rival family and attempts to kidnap her at the WGA Christmas party.

Aiden shuts down the first kidnapping attempt by pretending to be Violet's fiancé. He's smoking hot, such a gentleman, and their chemistry is through the roof. Violet wonders what could it hurt to pretend to be in love with a gorgeous, classy, romantic guy -- for just one night?

But Uncle Vincent calls their bluff, popping them both on a private jet headed to the Accardi family home in Sicily for the holidays.

Life for Violet and Aiden is about to become more complicated...
