    About this ebook

    Kate McMurray

    Kate McMurray writes smart romantic fiction. She likes creating stories that are brainy, funny, and, of course, sexy, with regular-guy characters and urban sensibilities. She advocates for romance stories by and for everyone. When she’s not writing, she edits textbooks, watches baseball, plays violin, crafts things out of yarn, and wears a lot of cute dresses. She lives in Brooklyn, NY, with two cats and too many books. Website: www.katemcmurray.com Twitter: @katemcmwriter Facebook: www.facebook.com/katemcmurraywriter Instagram: @katemcmurraygram

    A Walk in the Dark - Kate McMurray

    A Walk in the Dark

    I was never big into the holiday season. Most years, I put up with it, but Christmas had a way of reminding me that I didn’t have anyone to share the holiday with. The image on TV was of all these happy families sitting down to big turkey dinners, while I mostly spent the last two weeks of December sitting alone in my apartment and eating leftover Chinese food. My mother lived in the city, but she thought Christmas was a lot of materialist claptrap and was generally disinterested in making the holiday the Norman Rockwell painting that part of me yearned for.

    My roommate Rex was certainly not helping matters that one Christmas a few years ago. We’d been friends for a zillion years, but he’d been trying my patience lately. See, he had this boyfriend. I was at home one night when they came in, all smiles and giggles. By my estimation, Brandon and Rex were parading arm in arm into my apartment for the 437th time, and I wanted to vomit.

    Yes, Rex. After all the time I’d known him, I still didn’t know if that was his real name, but that wasn’t important. The real problem here was that Rex and Brandon were laughing and leaning on each other, headed for Rex’s bedroom, where I knew they would fuck, probably loudly. It was as if I didn’t exist, even though this was my home, too, and Rex and I made eye contact on his way by.

    I didn’t know what it was about this time, but something in me snapped. I could not listen to them fuck one more time.

    Unfortunately, I’d
