Two Strangers

Paint By Numbers Book 2

“We’re trading you.”

Growing up, I always heard the saying…you know the one…sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me. Something along those lines. You get the drift.
Well, I’m calling that bluff. Because those three words, they have the ability to turn my entire world upside down. They could mean the difference between life and death. Literally.

How far would you go to care for someone you love?

Sophie Robinson is an attorney. She’s a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, loves laminating and she wears her over dramatic glasses like the boss she is. She’s nothing like the women I usually meet. And until about six hours ago, I’d never seen her before.
According to Sophie, and a far-fetched loophole in my contract, I’ve got a little more than twenty-four hours to find a wife and protest my trade. My career, but more importantly, my future, rests in the hands of a total stranger.

The clock is ticking. I’ve got to convince a woman I’ve never met before to be my wife. She doesn’t even seem to like me very much, which is weird. Women usually love me.
I don’t want just any woman, though. I want this one. And I don’t even know why.
Go big or go home. It’s a motto that I’ve lived by my entire life.

I’m about to throw a Hail Mary and pray to God she knows how to catch.
