Romance novelist Lucy Figueroa lives a life of the imagination. While her stories are filled with fictional alpha male heroes, her real life is filled with nothing but Mr. Wrongs. As a sassy, strong, single mom, she doesn't need anyone... except maybe a new book idea. And to forgive herself for the mistakes of the past. Lucy's sexy new neighbor, Jake Slausen, looks like one of her characters come to life. While he fits the heartthrob part, he doesn't act it, too distracted by his cell phone and his job for any relationship. Damaged by his childhood, he's ignored his true calling and goes through his days on autopilot...until he meets Lucy. First drawn together by chemistry, then by a fierce need to protect each other even from themselves, will Jake and Lucy learn to accept their pasts or will they convince themselves that happily ever afters only exist in romance novels?This is Book 3 in the series. It's standalone and HEA. If you want to read my books in order, they are:1. The Sun and the Moon (Ryan and Amelia)2. The Stars in the Sky (Will and Marie)3. All the Waters of the Earth (Jake and Lucy)WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. SEX AND SWEARING AS PER MY USUALAnd, I'll note, that if you ship Jake and Lucy you get Jucy or Juicy.…
