The Perfect Man: A Short Story

Paige Racette envisioned the perfect man over and over in her romance novels.

But when Josiah Wells starts using those novels as a blueprint for the way to romance her, she finds the attention creepy, not attractive.

When Wells escalates, adding violence to his role-playing, Paige realizes she must escape the perfect man. But she might find help from someone unexpected-someone a little more flawed, a little less perfect.

Chosen as one of the best short stories of 2003.

"Rusch is a great storyteller."
