Goddess — J.A. Belfield

What do you do when in search of Mr Right? Blog about it, of course.Well, maybe not a normal person, but Brea McNorty, author of The Dating Slush Pile has never claimed to be on the list of regular peeps. Besides, her audience love hearing about her exploits, if only so their own dating disasters don't sound so bad, so why wouldn't she share just how much of a state her love life is in?After a few years of too many guys ending up on the reject list, though, Brea's ready to try something new, and the sandy beaches and suggested Happy Ever Afters in the SingleMingle brochure are just too tempting to ignore.When friend and work colleague Carrie suddenly announces she's dropping out from their planned escapade, however, Brea is left with an opening she needs to fill. Or risk going alone.Milton Lee is the perfect flatmate for Brea. Protective. Unassuming. Always on time with the rent. And the fact he enjoys walking around in his underwear is merely an added quirk Brea is all too happy to tolerate. On a totally platonic level, of course.On top of that, the duo just seem to gel, so when Milton offers to step into Carrie's vacated shoes and ensure Brea isn't left to holiday alone, she's only too happy to accept. Especially as he's shadowed all her recent date nights and made sure she's gotten home safe. Stands to reason he's the perfect candidate to do that in sunny Greece, too.But maybe Brea is looking a little too hard for love. And in all the wrong places. Maybe the possibility of love has been right before her very nose this entire time.
