Forced Proximity, Opposites Attract Alexa Land 55 22nd Jan, 2022
I’m done with dating, since my last relationship ended in complete disaster. My friends are worried about me though, so to humor them, I agreed to attend a singles event and enter a raffle. It was for charity, so why not? I never thought I’d actually win one of the prizes—a blind date at an escape room. My date turns out to be a sassy barista with pink hair and a love of makeup. He’s definitely not my type. In fact, I doubt we have the first thing in common. But as the evening takes a turn for the unexpected, I find myself wondering—is this man exactly what I needed all along? This 12,000-word short story originally appeared in the charity anthology Heart2Heart, Volume Two, which is now out of print. It has been re-edited, and an epilogue has been added. Other than that, there are no significant changes to the story. This stand-alone is set in the world of Alexa Land’s Firsts and Forever Series.
