Plot Summary of The Playboy Meets His Match
"Jason Windover is a rancher, an ex-FBI agent, a member of an exclusive gentlemen's club in Texas, and a self-confessed playboy who never plans to marry. A friend of Jason, who is also a club member, is suspected of murdering the senior accountant of the firm he owns. The club members, including Jason, believe that someone is trying to frame his friend. They conduct their own investigation and find out that another club member, Dorian, who is a half-brother of Jason's friend, may be the culprit.

Meredith Silver, a freelance computer programmer who hopes to find the right man a, is in town to avenge her sister who was dumped by Dorian. To get back at Dorian, she slashed his tires, put chili pepper into his gravy among other things to annoy him. What Merry was doing though was interfering with the investigation. Thus, Jason was tasked to look after Merry and prevent her from further messing up the investigation.

Jason was unmoved when he learned about Merry's sister's plight. But he got interested when he learned that Dorian also cleaned up the the sister's bank account. They are now trying to find evidence to connect him to the illegal money transfers which eventually led to the murder. During the course of their investigation, Jason's house was bombed, and this served as a turning point for their budding romance. Jason realizes that he wants to spend the rest of his life with Merry. But Merry doesn't believe him. Jason now has a new mission - to convince Merry of the authenticity of his feelings!"
