The Golden Cockroach

He wants sex. She wants to drive his car…

It's Nina's third date with Jamie and she's having second thoughts. He's an insufferable jerk who only wants to talk about himself, and if it weren't for his European sports car she would never have gone out with him in the first place. Discouraged by both Jamie's choice of restaurant and his attempts at conversation, her evening is looking grim. If only she had a knight in shining armour to come to her rescue...

A dramatic tale of determination, desire, and dating, The Golden Cockroach is the first instalment in a series of surprising and darkly humorous short stories. While sharing a linked universe, each story in the saga stands alone and they can be read in any order. If you like relatable characters, amusing dialogue, and action spiced with both comedy and tragedy, then you'll love J.B. Reynolds's Crossing the Divide short story series.
