    About this ebook

    A sweet friends to lovers romantic comedy

    She can’t seem to catch any guy’s notice for anything.
    No, that pick-up pitch from a stranger gawking at her at the gas station doesn’t count. And one attractive salesman in town shouldn’t have been flirting with her in the first place. He was much too customer-friendly for a store known for its pathetic customer service.

    Now, is this young woman’s dateless problem unfixable? Not in the least. New plan: Sheridan Jones is going to date herself.

    Ahh. The romance.

    This fall/winter rom-com is especially great to read during the holidays. Joy to the world!

      Dumped.

      Whose jolly idea was it to ever apply such a thwunk of a word to an experience that has such potential to be, well, delicate? Dumping rightly identifies the deeds of county waste management crews at junkyards and of individuals who’ve determined that a nearby ravine or a sloping stretch of grass alongside the Interstate onramp would be the best place to desert the raggedy sofa or the busted TV they no longer have room or use for. Stuff like that.

      Oh…granted, it was all so romantic, really, when I thought about it. Picture tallish, chocolate-dipped specimen of unaffected charisma and looker-to-end-all-lookers (of the non-celebrity, plastic surgery-less variety), David Franklin. David once had a high school sweetheart, a gregarious, gorgeous girl he lost to her moving family’s move to the opposite side of the country, on account of the prestigious job promotion the girl’s father had landed. David saw the apple of his teenaged eye off at the airport, vowing to remain true to her and her alone from across the miles. But after the passing of a few months, David’s sobbing sweetheart called to break the news to him. Her mother held firm that her daughter was too young to be so exclusive with a boy who wasn’t even around while there were plenty of other nice, young gentlemen in the girl’s neck of the woods for her to socialize with, and she had better get to proper socializing, lest her growing fluidity in social graces be stunted before she came of age.

      David took every hint from that phone call, understated and otherwise. He mourned the loss of his love until after high school, when, as a freshman in college, he met the first girl he’d thought to date since his sweetheart had been taken away. This new young woman was a bibliophilic sort, not unladylike but without the deepest concern for cosmetics or fashion. She was a
