Ever since I was a little girl, I had a picture-perfect life planned for myself.
Become a teacher and make a difference. Check.
Surround myself with the best of friends. Check.
Find a man who loved and valued me. Check.
What I did not plan for was for that expertly crafted life to implode twenty minutes before I walked down the aisle. My life went into a tail-spin, spiraling out of control. Instead of hiding under a crocheted blanket on my couch with a pint of rocky road and a gallon of Pinot, I decided to hang on and see where this insane ride took me.
Things couldn't possibly get any worse, right? WRONG! People should stop asking that question because things can always get worse.
But amid the relentless and humiliating tests life threw at me, I found something. Something I never thought I'd find with the last person I'd expect to find it with.
I didn't plan for Ryan Cohen, but maybe the best things in life shouldn't be planned. Maybe the secret to the perfect life is just letting go and allowing the universe drop you exactly where you need to be.
Klappentext
Danielle
My life was perfect or so I thought . . . It blew up in my face right before I was about to walk down the aisle. The life I'd so perfectly planned no longer existed.
Being a good girl was a gigantic waste of my time. What did it get me? A life crumbling down around me. Maybe it's time for a walk on the wild side. Seems to work wonderfully for my sister and best friend. Besides, how much worse could things get?
Ryan came into my life with his laid-back charm and special piercing and turned it all upside down.
As it turns out things could get much worse. It was a night to remember, and boy, did I get more than I bargained for. And not necessarily in a good way.
Ryan
Danielle blew into my bar sad and looking for some horizontal revenge. What kind of man would I be if didn't offer up my help to a woman in need?
She breezed out of my life that night as quickly as she breezed in. Until two weeks later, when she stormed back in, yelling and cursing me about things I didn't do. I swear, it wasn't me. But I was taking the fall for someone else.
Yet, somehow in the midst of all that, Danielle managed to capture my attention. Things in my life were good before our one night together. I never meant to fall for her. I just wanted to loosen her up and teach her how to enjoy life again. The last thing I wanted was to love her. Especially, if I'm just a way for her to get over her ex.
