Never Too Late

Have you ever had your mother try to fix you up?

Mine has been relentless, butting into my dating life forever.

Every single time has been a total disaster.

But when Ma summons me to her local hangout, I'm not expecting her to do it again.

Chloe Harkin is my mother's newest obsession, doing everything possible to push us together. I don't want to like her. I don't want to be her friend. I want nothing to do with her.

But when Chloe's put in a dangerous situation, I can't stop myself from stepping in. I've been taught, when someone's in need, to do my part to help, including offering her a place to stay.

Big freaking mistake.
