Romy-- One look into Santa's eyes removed any doubt the festive guy with the white beard was the same man that had melted my heart at the racquetball tournament. While I appreciated him volunteering to dress up, let kids sit on his lap, and tell him their Christmas wishes, I was determined to be the one sitting on his lap whispering my fantasies in his ear. Then I found out he was a surgeon at the new hospital where I'd taken a nursing job. I'd dated doctors before, and they were all the same. Not my type. Cory-- A tragic childhood accident left me with a narrow focus...be the best pediatric surgeon. My peers continually tried to match-make, but they hadn't found a woman who could meet my exacting standards. Honestly, I wasn't sure what my standards were, but I pretended to have them so I'd have an excuse to end things after one date. Then I crossed paths with Romy. SHE defined my standard. But she didn't date doctors, especially one who had a pesky dating mistake that wouldn't go away. I'd always guarded my heart. Was Romy's resistance more proof that relationships weren't for me? If it was, why did I feel so compelled to make her mine? Hot and fast insta-love that you can finish in one sitting! less
