My music career was going exactly where I always dreamed. Big contract, big stadiums, and even bigger bank account. I had almost everything I wanted.
Everything except a song that would make all those raving fans dig even deeper into their pockets and throw more than just panties at me.
Writing a new song had proven to be a challenge. The words didn’t come. All my tricks didn’t work. There was one guy who could help. Only no one knew where to find him.
My only hope was his daughter.

It was all my father’s fault. My inability to read people, my lack of dating experience, and the reason I went out to dinner with a man who was not sticking around my small town.
“We can start with friends.”
It was hard to resist a man who made me feel desired. Who made me feel seen. Even if he wasn’t there forever, he was there for now. He was single, and he made it obvious he wanted me.
The moment was there. He leaned in. I leaned in. I closed my eyes, and…
He turned his head. Avoided my kiss.
I was such an idiot. And it was all my father’s fault.
USA TODAY Bestselling Author Mary E Thompson spent most of her childhood wishing she had a few less curves. She hid in the pages of books because her favorite characters never cared what size her clothes were. Now, neither does Mary, and she writes stories that celebrate women like her. Real women who have curves, chase dreams, and find love, because we should all be happy, no matter our dress size.
Mary spends her non-writing time with her husband and two kids, watching too much TV, cheering for her hometown football team (Go Bills!), and hiding chocolate from her family.
