I, Claire Dixon, have an ode to all the strong, independent ladies out there.
Never, ever, under any circumstances fall head over ass in love with your one-night stand.
Want to know why?
Because I did it, and believe me, it’s a whole lot more complicated than you think.
I didn’t just fall in love with any man; I fell for Mathis Bennett.
The Mathis Bennett—otherwise known as:
Heartthrob Hottie
Dr. Delicious
Sex on a Stick
And lastly… emotionally unavailable for relationships
I should have taken one look at his molten blue eyes, striking bright smile, and body of steel and ran the other way.
Spoiler Alert—I didn’t run.
Instead, after one night together, I was ready to tattoo his name across my heart and pick out China patterns.
This is where things get complicated, because one night turned into a casual fling that left me wanting more than he could promise.
Not only did Mathis ruin me for any other man, I tortured myself for years pretending he didn’t still make my heart skip a beat every time I saw him.
Read that again! Yes, I said years…
The time finally came for me to realize my happily ever after wasn’t coming from the man of my dreams… and this time, I ran.
What I didn’t know was he had other plans. Suddenly, the easy-going, level-headed, laid-back doctor became the sexiest, dirtiest, and sneakiest Bennett brother of all.
I won’t bore you with the details, but believe me when I say, falling in love with your one-night stand can be dangerous to your heart, body, and soul.
On second thought, maybe I shouldn’t tell you not to fall in love with your one-night stand, especially when you find out what happened to me.
Xoxo,
Claire
