Plot Summary of Match Me If You Can
"Annabelle Granger is the only failure in a family of successful workaholics, but she's determined to change her life. Now running the matchmaking business she inherited from her beloved grandmother, Annabelle is determined to bring in more clients by finding a match for the Chicago's most eligible bachelor, top-notch sports agent, Heath Champion.

Heath has fought to ensure that his life will be vastly different than the one his father anticipated for him. Now he's decided it's time for him to settle down and get married. And his wife must be absolutely perfect.

With Heath's exacting standards, and Portia Powers -- Chicago's number one matchmaker -- also attempting to locate Heath's Ms. Right from her elite list of clients, it's far from easy for Annabelle. Especially when she finds herself falling in love with Heath Champion.
