I’ve always felt like a spectator in my own life, trying to live up to my parents’ expectations instead of paving my own path. It took a whole bottle of wine and a not so gentle nudge from my best friend to venture into the realm of online dating. I’m steadfast in my belief that being a plus size woman on a dating app will only produce heartbreak. I wasn’t expecting Cade, the small town bartender from Oak Ridge, Kentucky who sneaks past all of my defenses. All we’ll ever be is friends, but when I fall apart, he’s right there to pick up the pieces and claim them for himself.
Cade
Content with my life in small-town USA, I wasn’t looking for love but curiosity got the better of me and I joined a dating app. One misunderstanding and a whole lot of flirting later, Paige turns my world upside down. The only catch? She’s from Canada and we’ll never be anything more than friends, despite how much I’m drawn to her and all of her broken pieces. 800 miles and a spontaneous proposal just might change our lives forever.
Content this title contains mentions of childhood trauma, detailed sexual content, as well as mental health struggles.
