Cyril in the Flesh

Forgiveness is the best revenge.Once upon a time, hacktivist Cyril Blanchard's passionate letters won the heart of the woman he loved. Unfortunately, he let his best friend take the credit-and the girl. Robin discovered the truth years too late, after a hacking exploit gone south left her husband dead and Cyril in prison.Now he's out, and Robin says she's prepared to give him a second chance.

Unlikely. Cyril may be pretty on paper, but in real life he's a belligerent, foul-mouthed neckbeard whose only coping mechanism is binge-eating his way back to five hundred pounds. So her offer to put him up in the ramshackle Victorian she's renovating in small-town California seems less like forgiveness than a trap.

Either that, or Robin's lost her marbles. Possibly both.Cyril doesn't know what her game is, but he knows one thing for sure: he doesn't get the girl.He also can't let her go.
