Matchmaking for psychopaths / by Coryell, Tasha,author.;
Lexie was expecting a nice evening with her fiancé for her birthday. Instead, her best friend is sitting next to her man, and what's worse: They're in love. To escape her relationship troubles, Lexie throws herself into her job where she works as a matchmaker for psychopaths -- a label that the clients themselves are unaware of -- and finds herself entangled with two of her most recent clients, both of whom have mysterious pasts that inspire Lexie to breech work protocol and spend time with them outside of the office. One of the clients, Rebecca, becomes a candidate to take the role of new best friend, while the other, Cole, insists that the two of them are soul mates and meant to be together despite Lexie's insistence that her fiancé is going to return in time for their scheduled wedding. When her ex-fiancé goes missing and threatening packages begin arriving at her doorstep, Lexie has to figure out who is trying to target her and how it relates to her own dark past. Can she trust her instincts as a matchmaker or has she set herself up with her enemy?"--

Despite rising tensions, Addison is even more driven to forge ahead on the path she charted years ago ... Determined at all costs to unravel Richmond's legacy, she soon becomes a target-with a shocking note left on her bedroom wall: You will pay.
