Lead — Elise Noble

Imogen Blair's best friends are both engaged, and their joy makes her realise what's missing from her own life. Or rather, who. With her future happiness at stake, Imogen comes up with a plan to land the guy of her dreams, pastry chef Jean-Luc Fortier. But you know what they say about the course of true love? It never runs smooth.

With Malachi Banks -- special-ops commando turned reluctant sidekick -- strong-armed into helping her, Imogen's determined to win her man. But will the prize be worth it?
