What do you do when you’ve agreed to a dating pact with your friends, but the one you want is a hot mess?
It’s official: I’m the last single girl standing.
All my friends in the Last First Date pact have found their loves. Me? Let’s just say Lady Luck must be in a mood because, despite trying everything right down to speed dating four guys in one night, Cupid’s arrow has evaded me.
Don’t get me wrong: I love my life. My friends are amazing, I’ve got my dream job running the Cozy Cottage Café, and I love where I live, Auckland, New Zealand, the City of Sails.
And then there’s Ryan Jones.
Ryan Confusing-with-a-capital-C Jones.
He may seem like the perfect combination of Prince Charming meets Thor without the hammer (clearly) but talk about sending mixed messages. Is he into me? Is he not? It’s a daily guessing game, and one that’s begun to mess with my head.
You see I’ve been in love, and I lost that love. Tragically. It took me a long time to get over and one thing I can tell you for sure, at 30, I never saw myself on the wrong end of an unrequited love situation.
Still, that’s exactly where I find myself.
That is until Ryan rescues me one night from a sleazebag’s advances like the Norse God he is.
And then he sweeps me up in a kiss, turning my world on its head.
But does Cupid have us in his sights? Or will Hot Mess Thor and my tragic past be our undoing?
