Hallowed Heat Ignited, The Holiday Matchmaker Book 4

Paperback Book

A thirty-year feud, a legendary matchmaker, and a firefighter who wasn't backing off—some grudges never stood a chance.

Darby Havers came to Peachwood Grove for a fresh start—a teaching post at the community college, a dissertation to finish, and her aunt and uncle in town. She didn't plan on Holden Jacobs: a firefighter eight years younger, sure of exactly what he wants, and—inconveniently—the grandson of the one woman her aunt hasn't spoken to in thirty years.

Holden decided the second she reached for the last bottle of his gran's hot sauce that he wasn't backing off, feud or no feud. He shows up. He asks. He waits exactly as long as it takes and not a second more. When Mrs. Juliette Havers—Peachwood Grove's legendary matchmaker—has them working side by side on the Fall Festival committee, she's not starting anything that wasn't already happening. She's just making it harder to ignore.

Darby's still building her case: an age gap, a dissertation deadline, and a family feud that puts them both in the middle. Then comes the Peachwood Grove Halloween Masquerade, and by the end of the night, she's out of arguments. But loving Holden means risking what thirty years of pride could still cost them both.

Hallowed Heat Ignited is the final book in The Holiday Matchmaker Series—and the story where Peachwood Grove's legendary matchmaker finally gets a taste of her own medicine. After three books of playing cupid for everyone else, Mrs. Juliette Havers has to do the one thing she's never done: risk the one thing she's never risked—her own pride—for someone she loves.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Meddling small-town matchmakers who can't help themselves
• Golden retriever heroes who fall first and never waver
• Age-gap romance
• Forbidden romance rooted in a feud neither of them started
• Halloween Masquerade ball with sparks neither of them can hide
