Delicious Lucy: Delicious Curves, #1

By Cady Hart

Can a conference in a small town change both their lives? Can Caleb and Lucy overcome their fears and allow love to conquer their lonely hearts?

 

Caleb

I've been in love with Lucy since we met in College. I've never wanted another woman. She was so beautiful and full of life. I was the nerdy guy with glasses stuck behind books. My insecurities got in the way and I never asked her out and I lost her to another man.

My whole life changes when a conference has me in her hometown for over a week and I see her on my first night there. Can I convince her I'm the man for her?

 

Lucy

My forty-fifth birthday was not on a good start. But then he appeared out of nowhere. Caleb was my secret crush in College and now he's here. All grown up and sexy as sin. Can I learn to trust a man again? Especially a man known to break women's hearts?

 

Delicious Lucy is a later-in-life, short and steamy novelette about second chances, unrequited love, characters in their forties, sizzling chemistry, no cliffhangers and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
