I’m the last woman standing in our “Last First Date” pact, and Cupid clearly didn’t get the memo.
After a string of awkward speed dates and one very persistent guy who quoted The Notebook at dinner, I’m starting to think my happily ever after got lost in the mail.
Then there’s Ryan Jones. A maddeningly perfect mix of Prince Charming and off-duty superhero—with a smile that makes me forget how to speak in full sentences.
Too bad his mixed signals could power the national grid.
One minute he’s stepping in to save me from a sleazy date and kissing me like I’m the only girl in the world. The next? Ice cold. Like nothing happened.
But no matter how hot-and-cold he runs, my heart keeps falling.
Now I have to figure out whether Ryan’s just a romantic riddle I’ll never solve… or the real deal hiding behind old scars—just like me.
Because I’m not looking for fireworks or fairytales anymore. I just want one last first date that ends with forever.
