  The human race was expanding through the galaxy ... and so, they knew, were the Aliens. Who were these beings? Traces of them could be found scattered on planets everywhere, some very recent, but the aliens themselves were never encountered. They were obviously just as advanced technologically as humans and obviously looking for planets to expand to, just like humans. But what would happen when the two races, human and alien met? From history it was obvious that a war should be planned for, two expanding empires cannot tolerate rivals and they would clash and it could happen at any time. Would it be a war to the death? Sadly, that was the most probable outcome. Hundreds of human ships were designed specifically to frantically comb the known universe to gather information about them to prepare for war. Which was inevitable of course.

  You can't orchestrate true love…can you?  
  Spellmaster Geraldine Hartford has everything she could want — a successful spell shop and close friends and family — but she's still waiting on her own swoon-worthy romance. Her friends think their matchmaking efforts are helping, but it's the tall, handsome stranger in town who immediately catches Gerry's eye.  
  Basil Thorne's life has turned upside down. After his father's death, he's found himself uprooted from Bath to become the head of a family he barely knows. Overwhelmed by responsibilities, not to mention the clamor of Tutting-on-Cress locals wishing to befriend him — only the lovely spellmaster with a twinkling smile seems to soothe Basil's heart. 
  And he's not the only one who's noticed… 
  Soon it seems as though everyone in Gerry and Basil's lives is determined to match them up. But Gerry is waiting for the surefire spark of romance and Basil is waiting until his life settles down.  
  They may be perfect for each other, but it will take some meddling — and a bit of magic — to bring them together. 
  This book is the fifth installment in the series Meddle & Mend. It can be read after Dear Bartleby or as a standalone.
