Eternity meets The Seven Year Slip in this magical love story about a woman who must choose between the soulmate she’s loved in every lifetime . . . and a (younger) wildcard.

Welcome to One & Only matchmaking:

For centuries, the Park women have had a 100 percent success rate in matchmaking. Their secret? the magical gift to peer into people’s past lives to find their fated love story.

This is why forty-year-old Cassia Park knows exactly what her happy ending looks like – a man named Daniel Nam. But after ten years of searching, she’s taking destiny into her own hands.

Enter Ellis Yang-Cohen: twenty-eight, indecently handsome and certainly not her soulmate. Their chemistry is instant.

Just as Cass begins to imagine a future with Ellis, he introduces her to his boss . . . Daniel Nam.

Faced with two possibilities – fate and chance – and two very different futures, Cass must decide what kind of life she wants. And who she chooses could cost her familyeverything.
