The Wrong Match
He catches liars for a living. He just didn't expect the biggest lie to be sleeping next to him.
Adam Reed is a senior safety analyst at TrueMatch, the world's leading dating app. His job is to spot deception, trace fake accounts, and protect users from people who hide behind screens. But when his girlfriend, Clara, goes viral with a devastating video exposing his "failures," Adam's carefully controlled life shatters in the comment sections of the internet.
Now, TrueMatch is facing a PR crisis, and the board has a solution: Adam will star in a high-stakes reality TV show. Love After Lies. The deal is simple-date women chosen by an algorithm on camera, repair his reputation, and in return, he receives a quarter of a million pounds and saves his entire team from redundancy.
It sounds like a lifeline. Until Maya Hart walks into the picture.
Maya is the crisis consultant hired to manage Adam's image. Brilliant, sharp-tongued, and frustratingly unreadable, she is the last person Adam wants to trust. But Maya has seen the production timeline, and she knows a terrifying secret: the show was planned before Clara's video ever went public. Adam isn't the hero of a redemption arc. He's a pawn in a game he doesn't understand.
And there's another complication Maya is hiding: two years ago, before Clara, before the scandal, she and Adam exchanged messages through TrueMatch's verification system. Messages that felt dangerously real before she disappeared.
In a world where emotions are edited for ratings and trust is a commodity, Adam must decide what matters more-winning the game the network has rigged for him, or walking away with the one woman who might be telling the truth.
The Wrong Match is a gripping contemporary thriller about the stories we sell, the lies we choose to believe, and the dangerous space between what is real and what is broadcast.
