L'impossible retour

Amélie Nothomb

Description

Spending Labor Day weekend with my picture-perfect family sans date?

Over my dead body.

I'm Genevieve Thompson—call me Veve—and I'm determined to speed date my way through the the rest of summer to find Mr. Right. Even if it kills me.

I'm begging friends for blind dates and meeting every disaster-in-the-making at the Iron Horse Bar. But between bad pickup lines and worse first kisses, my gaze keeps landing on bartender Blaze Morgan. With dreamy eyes, tattoos, and a t-shirt so tight it should be illegal, he's temptation personified. But I can't fall for Coeur d'Alene's resident bad boy...can I?

Blaze insists my dating antics are desperate. Says a girl like me is too good for these fools. His smirks drive me crazy...almost as much as his chiseled jawline. But I can't mix business with pleasure. I need to focus on real prospects so I can stroll into that barbecue with the perfect fake boyfriend.

Yet as one date after another goes wrong, I start needing Blaze in other ways. We share steamy banter and surprisingly personal chats. When I seek his advice about my dating disasters, our bond deepens. But are we both afraid to admit we're perfect for each other?

With Labor Day looming, I'm running out of time.

I need to overcome my blind date blunders and see what's been right in front of me all along at the Iron Horse Bar.

But can I ever be vulnerable enough to let Blaze past my defenses?

This could be my chance at real love if I don't ruin everything...
