Cherish has worked at the Crush official daycare for five years, despite not being registered for the matchmaking service. Although the children she works with can be a handful, she loves her job more than anything. Thus, when the kids beg her to go to the fair, Cherish can do nothing against their puppy dog eyes.

But at Crush's festival for 100 years of 100% success, Cherish's name gets drawn from the raffle, and she wins a free match consultation. Every girl and guys dream. But Cherish is the exception. The consultation doesn't go as expected, and Cherish ends up with information.

Information people would kill for.

Daemon Haddix runs Crush, the worlds most successful match making service. It's been nine years since his father handed the corporation to him, and in all those nine years he's never been matched to anyone. Ever. 

There are two things that happen on the day after the Crush Festival, both of which could be life changing. The first, one of the newest employees has made a huge mistake, and one of their customers has left with the secret Crush formula, the one that figures out who would be a good match for whom. Their competition has been trying to get their hands on this secret algorithm for a hundred years, and now some random nobody has a flash drive that could destroy the entire Crush corporation. It's kind of a big deal. The second is less explosive, but still a big deal for him. Because Daemon has been matched with someone. 

Somehow Daemon has to juggle all of this at once, with out destroying either the company, or his relationship with his match.
