A One Night Chance

Ivelle has spent her career as one of the city’s most elite matchmakers, orchestrating love stories for everyone but herself. Cool, calculating, and elusive, she knows what makes a perfect pair—until a wild night at her best friend’s wedding brings Damian back into her life, the man she thought she’d left in her past.



After a passionate one-night encounter, Ivelle’s meticulously curated world begins to unravel. Damian isn’t just a lingering crush—he’s the one person who might uncover who she truly is, the secrets she’s buried, and the family legacy that nearly cost her life. As they’re thrust together by chance and fate, Damian starts to see through the woman she’s carefully constructed.



With powerful enemies closing in and the clock ticking on a mysterious list her parents died to protect, Ivelle must decide: trust Damian with her heart—and her life—or risk losing everything she’s built. But in this game of love and lies, even the matchmaker can’t predict the ending.

“I’ve waited too long to have you like this. It’s worth it.”



Her chest tightens as his words strike deeper than she expects. “Don’t talk like that. You’re going to be fine. I won’t let you go.”



Damian pulls her closer, his voice barely audible. “It has always been you, Ivelle....it always will be.”



"I can't lose you," she whispered.



"Then stop running," Damian murmured, his voice a faint breath, before his hand slipped from her cheek, and his eyes closed.



As Ivelle holds him in the fading light, she realizes it’s no longer about the secrets they’re both keeping—it’s about the truth they’re both afraid to face.
