The Matchmaker''s Cottage

<b>A cozy fall romance wrapped in small-town charm reunites the owner of a bed-and-breakfast with her childhood sweetheart for a celebrity matchmaking scheme which has them both seeing stars.</b><br><br>Julia Schaeffer might run the most romantic little bed-and-breakfast in Upstate New York, but as far as that infuriating Ethan Duchamp is concerned, this older, wiser Julia has a strict &ldquo;no vacancy&rdquo; policy. Sure, she&rsquo;s teetering on the edge of a financial cliff, and his half-baked plan to pair up his celebrity clients at her inn will undoubtedly be good for business&hellip;but how much forced proximity with the man who abandoned her is she supposed to take?<br><br>Ethan needs this to work. The dreamy, autumnal&mdash;and blissfully secluded&mdash;cottage from his childhood summers is the ideal setting for playing matchmaker to Hollywood&rsquo;s next power couple. It&rsquo;s the only way to save his PR career from the tabloid toilet. He <i>knew</i> that the inn and Julia&rsquo;s warm, comforting homemade touch would inspire real feelings&mdash;he just didn&rsquo;t expect them to be his. Again.<br><br>But as old wounds reopen, and their connection rekindles, Julia and Ethan are forced to confront the truths they&rsquo;ve both tried to bury. In a town where nothing stays hidden for long, they&rsquo;ll have to decide if they can rebuild what was lost&mdash;or if their second chance will be derailed by scars that have yet to heal.
