Sometimes love needs a helping hand…

She needed to win the Artisan Perfumer contest. He needed a new signature fragrance to save his family business. But some questionable behind-the-scenes dealings might just jeopardize any chance they have of a happy ending.

Angela was lost after her grandmother passed away. And a betrayal by someone she once loved, officially ended her career in the exclusive world of perfuming. After years of perfecting her own signature fragrance, she’s ready to make a comeback in the industry. To do it, she’s got to win the competition.

As owner of the Jaranda Perfume Company, Grant Edwards expects top-notch results from the perfumers. No one knows he’s the secret client and getting to know the finalists is all part of his plan to find a new spokesperson. But what he doesn’t count on is the beautiful contestant who makes him laugh, and who’s fragrance is unforgettable. Or her reputation in the industry.

Join our matchmaking spirits to see if they can find a way to knock some “scents” into the situation or if it’s a lost cause?
