The Love Rematch

Marie (Stolen Goods) sparkles in her The Love Match series launch. Aspiring jewelry designer Emily Ann Peters goes viral after her mother appears in the audience of a morning show holding a sign reading “Emily Ann needs a man!” The resulting hoopla lands Emily a starring spot on the new season of The Love Match, one of TV’s most popular shows. When she arrives on set, she comes face-to-face with her first love, Jake, who’s now a producer on the show. He disappeared from her life seven years earlier during a pregnancy scare, leaving Emily heartbroken. Though Jake, the son of a teen mother, feared holding Emily back, he’s never gotten over her either. But Emily is supposed to be finding love with a contestant, not a staff member. Marie brings in a lot of reality show-inspired fun, with over-the-top dates, suitors both good and bad, and plenty of drama. There are also some shocking twists, including the real details behind Emily’s purported pregnancy. Readers will binge this like it’s a new season of The Bachelorette. (Self-published)
