I live a double life…and no one in my family knows it. No, I’m not a spy or CIA or special forces or anything…but sometimes it seems like being a matchmaker is nearly as dangerous. Men and women come from all over for my business, Hound Dog, where I utilize rescue dogs as a way to help people attract and find their perfect match. Over 80 percent of my clients end up adopting the dogs I pair them with. And 90 percent of them find their “soulmate" after using my services. Too bad I don’t believe in soulmates. But fact is, that sort of cynicism won’t pay the bills.

Natalie Erinaceus has a problem. Her manipulating mother won’t stay out of her dating life. One more dinner with a blind date and someone is getting a fork to the eye. Her inner hedgehog wants a mate and nothing is going to stop her. Not her nervous hedgie’s habit of balling-up and certainly not that online questionnaire. Who writes those things anyway?

That’s what Evangelina Harper committed to when her friend Andy insisted she put herself out there more. What she wasn’t expecting was actually liking one of the dates: Nathan.

I spend all day telling my clients to keep their mouth shut so I can get them off whatever charge they've managed themselves caught up into. I'm one of the meanest attorneys in NYC, and women can smell money and confidence from a mile away. I win cases, and I can get any girl. Except for one, and she's making my life a living hell.

Elijah was in love with her, but she was afraid loving him would eventually mean losing him too.
