An MM Romantic Suspense in the Pink Matchmaker Series

Iโ€™m so excited to finally share Love Code: Teddy & Simon with you!

This story has been living in my head (and my heart) for a long time. Itโ€™s a story about trust, identity, control, and what happens when love shows up in a way you never expectedโ€”and were never supposed to have.


๐Ÿ’ป About the Story

Theodore Hartman believes in love.

As the brilliant co-founder of Pink Match, the worldโ€™s most advanced soulmate app, Teddy has helped millions of people find their perfect partner. He trusts the algorithm. He built his life around it.

Now itโ€™s finally his turn.

The algorithm says his soulmate is waiting for him at a quiet Detroit restaurant.

What Teddy doesnโ€™t knowโ€ฆ
is that the man sitting at the bar isnโ€™t his match.

Simon Wolfe is a professional protectorโ€”trained to watch, track, and eliminate threats before they strike. When Teddyโ€™s powerful family becomes dangerous, Simon is hired to stay close to himโ€ฆ very close.

Pretending to be Teddyโ€™s soulmate was supposed to be simple.
A cover.
A job.
A temporary lie.

Until one night changes everything.

Because Teddy isnโ€™t just a mission anymore.

Heโ€™s everything.

Now the truth has shattered Teddyโ€™s trust, powerful enemies are closing in, and Simon will have to risk everything to keep the man he loves aliveโ€”

Even if Teddy never forgives him.


๐Ÿ’” Themes Youโ€™ll Find Inside

At its core, Love Code is about the tension between control and surrenderโ€”between what we plan for and what we feel.

It explores:

  • What it means to trust someone after betrayal
  • The difference between being protected and being controlled
  • Found family and chosen loyalty
  • And whether love can survive the truth

๐Ÿ“– A Note to Readers

This is an MM romance with high emotional stakes, layered characters, and a strong romantic suspense thread. If you love stories where characters are forced into proximity, pushed to their limits, and ultimately have to choose each otherโ€”this one is for you.

Love Code is a standalone in the Pink Matchmaker series, so you can jump in here even if you havenโ€™t read the others.


โœจ Final Thoughts

Sometimes the perfect match isnโ€™t the one the algorithm chooses.

Sometimes itโ€™s the one who was never supposed to fall for you at all.

Thank you for being here, for reading, and for loving these characters as much as I do. ๐Ÿ’–
