Coles Matchmaking Mayhem at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A seaside festival, a ruthless sponsor, and a matchmaking mom who refuses to be anyone’s weak spot. Anaya must save her event, face the man who left her, and choose love on her own terms—while her best friend plots damage control.
Anaya has a simple plan for her seaside town’s biggest festival: keep the music on time, keep the sponsors happy, and keep her private life out of the spotlight. It’s the kind of work that looks effortless only because she’s been doing it while swallowing stress for years. Then the wrong message resurfaces, the wrong people start whispering, and a polished power player named Meera decides Anaya’s life is something that can be steered with money and pressure.
When the threats turn personal, Anaya’s mother, Madhuri, refuses to be treated like leverage. Anaya’s best friend, Leena, goes into damage-control mode with the precision of someone who knows that “stay calm” is only useful if you also stay smart. Dex, the well-meaning friend whose old praise is now being twisted into a weapon, is forced to face the difference between intention and impact. And just when Anaya is certain she can’t carry another complication, Kieran returns, holding receipts and regret in equal measure.
In a town that loves festivals as much as it loves gossip, Anaya has to do something she’s never done publicly before. She has to draw a line and keep it. Because love, community, and dignity don’t survive on perfect optics. They survive on clarity, boundaries, and the courage to choose what’s real when everyone wants a performance.
