Matchmaker's Best Friend Kari Trumbo

"You're just like a brother to me. I don't like you in that way."

When they dated ten years ago as teens, it almost destroyed their friendship. So Pen Reese did the only logical thing. She lied about how she felt-and still feels-about him.

She's still paying for that lie.

A brilliant plan to set Mike and a friend up and get over him has one problem.

It's breaking her heart.

When Pen pushed him away, Mike Gaines assumed she just didn't understand his faith. People like her persnickety aunt even claim he's part of a cult-ridiculous, but it's true. Still, if she wants him to play the part of a big brother, fine. At least he can stay close this way.

At first, Pen's attempt to set him up with one of her close friends hurts. But what if it's the perfect opportunity to show her what she's missing if she sees him with someone else?

In this friends-to-more-meets-second-chance romance, The Matchmaker's Best Friend continues the Elnora Island romances of the Independence Islands Series featuring five islands, six authors, and a boatload of happily-ever-afters.
