The Family's Chaos Mechanic Part Eight

Midnight Morretti has made it through eleven matchmaking candidates.

One remains.

Giovanna Castellano is Vittorio's granddaughter, a professional family representative with a terrifying poker face, an endless supply of Skittles, and absolutely no interest in pretending to be something she's not.

She also picked New Orleans: for Midnight, that means cemeteries, old stone, late-night music, enough food to keep Giovanna functional, and one final weekend before she's supposed to figure out what the hell she's doing with her love life.

Except Giovanna isn't anything like Midnight expected. Beneath the Castellano name is a woman who has spent years being watched, protected, underestimated, and treated like she has everything she could possibly need.

She doesn't.

The more Midnight learns about what Giovanna actually wants, the harder it becomes to treat this weekend like another entry in a matchmaking experiment.

Declan felt like recognition.

Giovanna feels like possibility.

And Midnight is beginning to suspect that the choice waiting for her at the end of all this may not be the choice everyone thinks she's making.
