    About this ebook

    Plus size, lonely and forever single, Susie has tried just about everything to meet a decent man only to crash and burn every time. When her best friend Callie suggests that she try a different approach, forcing men to get to know her personality before they ever see what she looks like, she reluctantly agrees, allowing herself to venture into the exciting world of online dating.

    Ryan Marshall is a successful single with a competitive streak that leaves him very little time for dating. Sick of gold digging bimbo's he's looking for something new - different - genuine so when he stumbles across the profile of a new user in his area he decides there's no harm in sending her off a quick email.

    Susie has the unfair advantage - she knows what Ryan looks like and he's hotter than any man she's ever seen before. But what will happen when it's time to meet in person and he finally sees that she's anything but thin? Will Ryan still find himself attracted to Susie and not only accept, but appreciate her big-girl curves?

    WARNING: This is an erotic romance story featuring sexual content of adult nature.

      Susie Cartwright walked into the hospital wearing pale green scrubs, a smile on her face, and carrying a jaunt in her step. She flashed that smile to everyone who passed by her like a warrior holding a shield aloft—to the receptionist, to the various people walking or milling about in the halls, and to her co-workers in the locker room.

      She kept her smile fixed firmly in place as she made her rounds, as she talked to patients, monitored vitals, administered prescription doses. Even when she was chattering in ICU with the severely ill she didn’t let up at all, her cheerfulness almost stoic in nature.

      When it was time for her break, she kept the smile on even then as she walked into the break room. Seating herself at one of the small, round tables, she pulled a sandwich from the paper lunch bag she’d brought up and wondered how she was going to keep the smile on between bites.

      Her best friend, Callie, entered the room, her scrubs bright pink, and her blond ponytail flouncing behind as she took the seat opposite her.

      Well look at you, Ms. Cheerful! Everyone’s been talking about how happy you look today. I take it that your date went well last night?

      The smile plummeted faster than the blink of an eye, and Callie’s blue eyes widened as Susie’s face crumpled. She quickly ducked her head down; out of the sight of the other medical staff sharing the break room with them, but not before Callie saw the tears shimmering in her green eyes.

      He stood me up, Callie, she whispered as Callie dug a Kleenex from her purse to hand to her friend.

      I’m so sorry, Callie soothed, stroking the back of her friend’s hand. What an asshole.

      It’s the third time this month, Susie said bitterly, dashing tears away with her Kleenex. I’m completely hopeless. I’ll never find a decent man. At least not until I lose forty pounds or so.

      Don’t say that, Callie admonished, gripping Susie’s hand tightly now. You’re funny, smart, and beautiful. There are tons of men out there looking for a woman with the inner spirit you have.

      Susie finished wiping her face, then pulled out her
