William Evidently, five years living alone in the mountains is too long. I’ve been busy writing books and escaping the grim realities of the society I knew. Now I’ve been asked to make a speech to aspiring authors but my agent thinks my etiquette could use a little brushing-up, plus this speech is harder to write than a thriller novel. What’s even harder? Being well-mannered around the curvy-as-hell, sweet-as-sin etiquette coach, Marin. She’s so buttoned-up it drives me crazy. We’ll get through the speech, I might even let her re-socialize me to my agent’s standards. But I won’t wait forever to make Marin mine all mine. Real life? Yeah, it’s crazier than fiction.
