The second in a new feel-good series... [from] one of the world’s best-loved and most prolific authors. Brimming with joy and most important of all, love
The Sunday Post
Alexander McCall Smith is... a novelist much like Austen. Choosing the right partner is a serious business, and it is partly a question of compatibility. The business of his heroine Katie is guiding people in the right direction

About the Book
What if you met the person you were destined to be with? And what if you never saw them again . . . ?
There’s a new case for the Perfect Passion Company. After a serendipitous meeting in a supermarket, Clea meets the man of her dreams. But having left suddenly without his phone number, she can’t stop thinking about what might have been. Can apprentice matchmaker Katie, with the help of her enigmatic neighbour William, help orchestrate the forces of Kismet and choreograph another happy union?
And now that the newly single William’s engagement is off, can Katie seize the moment to tell him how she feels before her chance has gone forever?
