The Man I Shouldn't Love
The Man I Shouldn't Love
“As if my life wasn't already complicated as a plus size woman who has always found it hard to find love, I go and fall in love with the wrong man. Stanley Pearson is my father's best friend. A billionaire. Twenty-nine years older than me. Engaged to my high school bully. And.. the only man I've ever truly loved. For years, my feelings were nothing more than a secret crush I swore I'd outgrow. Then my parents left for a three-year overseas assignment and asked Stanley to let me stay at his estate until I finish college. Now, I'm living under the same roof as the man I can't stop thinking about. Every day, I tell myself to keep my distance. Every day, I fail. Because the more time I spend with Stanley, the harder it becomes to ignore the way he looks at me. The way he remembers the little things. The way he makes me feel seen when the rest of the world looks right through me. Maybe I'm foolish. Maybe I'm delusional. Or... maybe some loves are too powerful to disappear just because they're forbidden. But my heart has never been very good at following the rules.”
