Her proposition was easy. One night. No names. No connection. Just a night to forget the outside world.
I couldn’t say no to her. I didn’t want to.
In the morning, she was gone. Just like she promised. I knew I wouldn’t see her again.
Until she sat across from me the next night for our first date.

If anyone can screw up a relationship, it’s gonna be me. I moved to a new town for the guy I’d been dating for almost a year, only to find out he was married with two teenagers. Then I had a one-night stand with the hot guy from the hardware store, and got paired with him on a dating app for a date the next night.
After I told him I wasn’t looking for anything serious.
I wasn’t, not really, but if I was going to stick around for a while, I might as well get to know the locals. Especially the ones who made me feel like there might be a place for me in this small town.
USA TODAY Bestselling Author Mary E Thompson spent most of her childhood wishing she had a few less curves. She hid in the pages of books because her favorite characters never cared what size her clothes were. Now, neither does Mary, and she writes stories that celebrate women like her. Real women who have curves, chase dreams, and find love, because we should all be happy, no matter our dress size.
Mary spends her non-writing time with her husband and two kids, watching too much TV, cheering for her hometown football team (Go Bills!), and hiding chocolate from her family.
