All I’ve ever wanted is the stability I didn’t have growing up.
I’ll admit that becoming a struggling artist with a mountain of student loan debt didn’t exactly fulfill that wish. But when I fell into a relationship with San Francisco’s hottest tech billionaire, everything seemed to click into place.
Until my fiance bought me a banana yellow tule mini dress with oversized sequins and proved he never knew me at all.
Sounds dramatic to break off an engagement over a dress, right? But there was also that compromising position I found him in while I was wearing said hideous dress.
The anger and humiliation and, let’s face it, relief to be out of that ill-suited relationship were enough to send me out into the middle of a storm. I didn’t get very far before needing to seek refuge with a grumpy but gorgeous avowed bachelor and photographer named West.
The lights go out and before I know it, we’re seeking refuge in each other. Knowing our time together is a mere fluke, we share a rare kind of intimacy. And then our hot night is over all too soon.
Until I see him in my billionaire’s office a few days later and suddenly West and I are back in a forced proximity situation, this time working on a project together.
The only catch? We cannot touch each other.
Easy, right? I mean, we barely know each other.
So how come it already feels like he’s claimed my heart?
