Scorch — Elouise East

Nothing like being stood up to make him feel worthy… Riley has been grieving his lack of love life for long enough, or so his brother tells him. But he's been on Illuminate's books for two years already and no match. Finding someone who loves being tied up while Riley does wicked things to him is easy, but finding someone who is safe to be around his daughter is another thing entirely. When he's finally matched, the crushing pain he feels when his date is a no-show is hard to bear. Xander has spent his entire life fending for himself and learning who he is because he has no one to tell him where he came from. Finding himself is still a work in progress, but when he starts working for Illuminate Matchmaking, he can't help but want what he sees the company achieve every week. Someone to love him for all his flaws and kinks. Someone to love what they see - inside and out. A shock twist finds Xander on a date he isn't expecting… A single dad, hurt/comfort, MM matchmaking novella.
