Matched by Mistake

A Mistletoe Falls Christmas Romance

By: Nora Ashford

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

One viral breakup. Twelve impossible dates. And the ex she swore she'd never fall for again.

When Mayor Darcy Maguire throws champagne in her cheating fiance's face at the town tree-lighting ceremony, the video crashes the town website and makes her a laughingstock five weeks before the election. Desperate for damage control, she agrees to an outrageous scheme: twelve blind dates before Christmas, orchestrated by Mistletoe Falls' legendary matchmaker.

There's just one problem. Every. Single. Date. Is. A. Disaster.

The accountant audits her retirement plan mid-appetizer. The sculptor wants to immortalize her bone structure in clay. The antique dealer appraises her earrings before the wine arrives. And the birdwatcher? He forgets she exists the moment a rare finch appears.

Worse, Griffin Thornwood keeps showing up. Birdie's grandson. The ex-boyfriend who shattered her heart fourteen years ago when he chose California over their future. Now he's back in town, running the family vet clinic, training rescue dogs, and looking at her like he still remembers exactly how she tastes.

Darcy suspects Birdie's matchmaking disasters aren't mistakes at all. They're a scheme to push her toward the one man she's spent years avoiding. But as the snow falls and Christmas approaches, she's starting to wonder if the meddling grandmother might be right.

Some hearts never forget. Some loves deserve another chance. And some matches were never mistakes at all.

A heartwarming second-chance romance about trust, forgiveness, and discovering that sometimes the best Christmas gift is the love you almost let go.
