Making the Match, an all-new second chance, single parent, standalone romance full of heat and heart from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Ashley, is available now!
Mika fell in love. Tom was already in love with his wife. As badly as Tom wanted Mika as a friend, Mika knew it would hurt too much to be attracted to this amazing man and never be able to have him.
They parted ways for what they thought would be forever, only to reconnect just once, when unspeakable tragedy darkens Mika’s life.
Years later, the impossible happens.
A time comes when they’re both unattached.
But now Tom has made a terrible mistake. A mistake so damaging to the ones he loves, he feels he’ll never be redeemed.
Mika has never forgotten how far and how fast she fell when she met him, but Tom’s transgression is holding her distant from reaching out.
There are matchmakers in their midst, however.
And when the plot has been unleashed to make that match, Tom and Mika are thrown into an international intrigue that pits them against a Goliath of the sports industry.
Now they face a massive battle at the same time they’re navigating friendship, attraction, love, family, grief, redemption, two very different lives lived on two opposite sides of a continent and a box full of kittens.
Fall in love with Tom and Mika!

Ididn't know how I would feel about Making the Match. We have Tom, Genny's (After the Climb) ex-husband who cheated on her and more or less blamed for the break-up of their marriage. Tom has now moved-on, has dated but a friend from his past reappears in his life: Myka Stowe. Myka and Tom meet long ago but at the time, Tom was married to Genny, then later, Myka meets her late husband but time is finally on their side when what some might call "fate" brings the two back together as adults who have weathered the storm called life. Since both are available, they must decide whether all their baggage and histories before meeting are worth taking on together and exploring a relationship.
I will say as I entered this book skeptical whether I would like Tom Piece's character and enjoy a story about him, but Kristen worked her magic and made me fall in love with Tom too. Sure, he made a lot of mistakes but he more than took responsibility for those that were his as well as other people. Both Tom's and Myka's stories were tough; each living through different types of heartbreaks but each moving forward toward a future with each other. There was a lot of heartache in this book and a lot of forgiving. Fractures begin to heal, forgiveness is giving, and healing begins. This was an emotional story and not one to be missed.
