After dating my boyfriend Danny for five weeks, I was finally ready to take our relationship to the next level. I asked him to take me parking up at Harper's Hill, the local make-out spot in my small town. Just as things started to get heated, he revealed that he was only dating me because of a dare.
What was even more mortifying than Danny's revelation was when a flashlight tapped against the backseat window.
I was forced to exit the car in my half-dressed state only to come face-to-face with the newest member of the police force; Officer Brent Jordison.
My hot, alpha male stepbrother.
What happened next was something I couldn't have even imagined.
Ever since that night, my life has spiraled wildly out of control. The only certainty I have left is that Brent is the only man I’ll ever want and simultaneously the one man that I shouldn’t.
Not that I’m going to let anything stop me from trying to keep him.

In The Wrong Heaven, anything is possible: bodies can transform, inanimate objects come to life, angels appear and disappear.Bonnaffons draws us into a delightfully strange universe, in which her conflicted characters seek to solve their sexual and spiritual dilemmas in all the wrong places. The title story's heroine reckons with grief while arguing with loquacious Jesus and Mary lawn ornaments that come to life when she plugs them in. In "Horse," we enter a world in which women transform themselves into animals through a series of medical injections. In "Alternate," a young woman convinces herself that all she needs to revive a stagnant relationship is the perfect poster of the Dalai Lama.
While some of the worlds to which Bonnaffons transports us are more recognizable than others, all of them uncover the mysteries beneath the mundane surfaces of our lives. Enormously funny, boldly inventive, and as provocative as they are deeply affecting, these stories lay bare the heart of our deepest longings. Views: 17
