Welcome to One & Only matchmaking, where your one true love awaits … unless fate has other plans.

Cassia Park believes there’s a someone out there for everyone. Soulmates. Fated love stories. After all, it's her family business. For centuries, the Park women have had a 100 percent success rate in matchmaking. Their secret? the magical gift to peer into people’s past lives to find the perfect match.

This is why Cass knows exactly what her happy ending looks like – a man named Daniel Nam. But after ten years of searching, she’s done waiting around for fate.

Enter Ellis: twenty-eight, indecently handsome and certainly not destined to be the love of her life. Their chemistry is instant and impossible to ignore. Just as Cass starts falling for Ellis, he introduces her to his boss. . . Daniel Nam.

Faced with two possibilities – destiny and chance – and two very different futures, Cass must decide what kind of life she wants. And when a family secret surfaces, her happiness isn’t the only thing on the line . . . and who she chooses could cost them everything.
