Bear’s Midlife Matchmaker by Meg Ripley

I just couldn’t see myself in a relationship with anyone here.
Except you.
Those are the last words I expected to hear that night.
After a failed marriage and sending my twins off to college,
It was finally time to put myself first.
I stepped way outside of my comfort zone
And moved my relationship therapy practice up north.
To help get my name out there,
I hosted a speed dating event from my new home office,
Just in time for Valentine’s Day.
But I never thought I’d be struck by Cupid’s arrow myself.
When a rugged stranger with soulful eyes showed up
And asked me to take a round with him,
I soon learned just how good this carpenter is with his hands.
But there’s another side of Pax unlike anything I’ve seen.
At the risk of sounding certifiably insane,
When I was attacked by a client,
Pax changed from the man I’d come to love
To a snarling, ferocious bear.
He may have saved me from that fate,
But now, who will save me from him?
