Why Not Both?

Lis Stone

After escaping another disastrous internet date, I am done with dating. I’ve just landed my dream job as the head chef for Vancouver’s premier wedding venue, Blue Vista Events. I don’t have time to date. But my sister has other plans, dragging me to a bar, and making me promise that if a ＂smoking hot guy＂ asks me to dance, I’ll say yes.

Enter Spencer Cole.

Gorgeous, funny, and an amazing dancer, he ignites an instant connection that leads to a one-night stand leaving me wanting more. The next day, my world tilts when I discover he’s the event coordinator at Blue Vista, so I end it before it begins. Rule #1: No dating co-workers. My career is too important to risk it all for a man. Again.

From the second I see Lis, every other woman fades into the background. After one steamy night and one perfect date, I’m convinced: our connection is natural and hot and real. My instincts have never steered me wrong before, and they’re telling me that Lis is the woman of my dreams. Dreams I begin to realize I’ve ignored for the better part of a decade.

When she pulls away, I agree to just be friends. But as our bond deepens, I start making the changes needed to build the future I want-a future where Lis features in the starring role.

Now I just need to convince her. Why does it have to be me or the job? Why not both?
