I’m madder than a baby gator being swung by its tail My best friend, Lucy, just told me I need to see a shrink because I have trust issues with men. A shrink Really ? Me, Jamie Fulton, crazy? No way. Unless you call it crazy to have trusted my toxic, schizo father and my diabolical almost husband with my heart. Even after three years, I still feel like a gullible fool every time I think of how I was one of those women in love who trusted blindly, when there were signs that something was wonky about him all along.

So…Lucy already had some heavy ammunition, even before I met a gorgeous man named Mick a few weeks ago in a most, let’s just say, unusual way. I reject all of his attempts to befriend me, in the days and weeks following our meeting. Lucy hears about Mick and tries to play matchmaker, but I’m having none of it. Then Lucy tells me I need to \
