The 24 Hour Dating Agency by Mary Jayne Baker

Tinder, Hinge, Bumble – thirtysomething event organiser Charlie has tried them all but now she’s wondering whether it’s time to throw the towel in and give up on love for good.

Newly divorced Tamara, Charlie’s boss, is keen to meet someone new, but at forty-three, running her own company and with two pre-teen kids, she doesn’t feel she has either the time or the energy to go through the dating mill again. Meanwhile, Charlie’s brother Milo has just had his heart broken – again. A hopeless romantic with terrible taste in men, this is his third breakup in as many months. Surely there must be a secret to finding Mr Right – but what?
Step forward The 24-hour Dating Agency, a match-making service with a difference. Instead of wasting months on casual dates they promise to find you the one through an intense twenty-four hours date – speed-dating but in reverse and even better, the agency boasts a 100% success rate.

Figuring they have nothing to lose, the three friends decide to sign up. But when one of their dates turns out to be an undercover journalist researching the dating agency’s unique approach for a feature, it looks as though one of them, at least, is headed for heartbreak. Or are they?
