description: Some fairytales begin with a kiss... CarsonMy secret to happiness is to be completely upfront with what I want and trust me it has nothing to do with Laneys heart. Her lips? Hell yeah. A few other parts of her body? You better f*cking believe it. But her heart? Nope. Not even a little. Until it doesa lot.Forget I said that. I dont have feelings for anyone. They were all ripped out of me when I was a kid.This thing between Laney and me could be great. But we have to follow certain rules. We have a good timeno dates no sleepovers no expectations. When one of us is ready for something new or if she starts getting too attached we move on with no hard feelings. Win-win and everybodys happy.I came into this thinking it would be the same thing as it had always been and that she was like any other woman. It isnt. She isnt. But how do I tell her she deserves someone better - someone who can love her someone whos not broken - if I cant seem to let her go? LaneyI finally get it. And to think it only took my heart being pried out of my chest and stomped on five separate times by men who claimed they loved me. Thats got to be a record right?Let me put it as simply as I can.Fairy tales arent real. Love is a lie. And at least in my experience sex never comes with a happy ending. Fortunately I still have a battery-operated boyfriend wholl never fall out of love with me. I wont walk in on him in bed with another woman either. Nope. As long as I keep supplying him with fresh batteries BOBs only purpose in life is to make me happy. And damn it I deserve to be happy. Im a nice person. I work hard. And most importantly I've learned an important lesson: To never ever let a man near my heart again. Unfortunately some people never learn.***Be ready for a lot of laughs a bunch of swoons and a few tears from this standalone romantic comedy.******DARKER WATER is a standalone contemporary fairytale retelling inspired by The Frog Prince***
