The wrong turn can lead you right to your brother's best friend

Nerdy hydrologist Dahlia Pesch has better luck attracting alligators while collecting water samples than finding a man. This includes Kelly Brannigan, her brother's best friend and her crush from afar. Since the tri-county scavenger hunt is much easier with a date, she sheds her shy identity and tests her luck with the Holidates app. She spends hours analyzing the data before picking her perfect match. She's mortified when she meets up with Kelly...until she realizes he's not her Holidate.

When his latest girlfriend dumps him two weeks before the tri-county scavenger hunt, Kelly Brannigan turns to the Holidates app to quickly find a partner. With his fledgling business sponsoring the hunt, it's important that he be there, having fun for social media pictures and garnering some much needed publicity. His match was perfect on paper-so why was the awkward sister of his best friend taking over his thoughts?

An app didn't align their algorithms, but since when did computers understand the laws of attraction?
