Summary

If there’s one thing you can always count on, it’s change. But the shift in Chance’s job description is one change he could have done without.  It’s an ill-fitting role, and his displaced colleague is just as much in the dark as to its purpose as he is.

Chance finds matchmaking particularly irksome from his lonely post behind the counter of Sweets to the Sweet. From Belfast to Auckland, Bruges to Los Angeles, he works his magic, hoping that sooner rather than later his own fate may be fulfilled.

Thus far, Chance’s only reward for a job well done is more of the same. Since he’s had enough with going through the motions, he decides it’s time to make a big splash. Will management take notice? 

 

EXCERPT

Open For Business

It appears so suddenly, you probably wouldn’t see it happen—even if you were in the right place at the right time. A street that looks so ordinary is suddenly transformed with a slight rush of wind, and a store that wasn’t there before breathes itself into life. The door will open, and a man with long dark hair pulled back in a tidy ponytail will step out and look upon his new surroundings. The expression on his face changes with each city he now finds himself in—but usually it is nothing more than a bemused smirk.

If you were to see him, you would think that the store has always been there but it’s only just now that you realised it’s open for business again. If the man was to catch you staring at him, he would give a slight nod and pull his sign out onto the street. It is a simple A-frame, with the store name in elaborate script: Sweets to the Sweet.

A boutique chocolate shop—it’s bound to be popular. But it is more than treats that are dispensed across the counter when you hand your money over.

If you enter, you just may find out.
