My truth, universally acknowledged: I, Lixie Bi Bennet, am an artist in need of a life.
Then I inherit a house in a tiny town. So me and my five queer friends drive halfway across Canada to land in Dildo, Newfoundland.
And D’Arcy, the dark, broody billionaire, insults me on the wharf. “I’d give her a solid 7 on 10, definitely tolerable—”
Gee, thanks. Meanwhile, Mr. D'Arcy scores an absolute zero on my scale.
D'Arcy will never appreciate me or my glass dildo art ... but fate throws us together when our best friends fall in love.
