Thanks to her elite Miami matchmaking service, Jasmine Croft is financially secure—and much too busy finding love for others to settle into a relationship of her own. But when a successful—and skeptical—crime author becomes her client, Jasmine finds herself up against the greatest challenge of her career—and maybe her life. . .
A man of mystery. . .
Handsome widower Robert Rankin would rather be working—but he needs a woman to accompany him to his brother's four day wedding celebration. His expectations are low—until his date arrives: Jasmine. A twist of fate brought her there, into the arms of a man far more intriguing and irresistible than she ever imagined. But as the days extend into a relationship, will meddling friends, scheming relatives, and Robert's own ghosts ultimately tear them apart?. . .

The lead characters in Shaw’s new contemporary primarily fall victim to her unsubtle plotting. Widower Robert Rankin, an NHL hockey player turned successful suspense writer, calls Croft Connections to arrange a date for his brother’s pre-wedding party. Jasmine Croft finds Robert rude and difficult, but through a series of unlikely events she becomes his date for the weekend. Robert quickly comes to adore her even as the ghost of his materialistic dead wife lingers. Jasmine soon realizes he’s a good man, but frets that a former sports star must be a philanderer. They begin to date but things turn ugly late in the story, when a melodramatic incident and its aftermath overwhelm the narrative and underwhelm the reader. Shaw relies heavily on one person’s meddling to hinder the couple and move the story, never providing real obstacles to Jasmine and Robert’s inevitable happy ending.
