He's twenty-four and nowhere near ready to settle down. His idea of a good time is getting messed up with his brothers and playing as hard as they work...and the White Brothers work damn hard. Jace White didn't expect a roll in the sack with some random woman to end in pregnancy...oh no. Nor did he expect her sister, Layla, to hunt him down, guns blazing at his shitty reaction-denial. As Jace argues with Layla, she realises maybe her sister isn't the innocent little virgin she made herself out to be... But Layla has her own problems, and they've followed her to Hallows Hill. What will happen when sparks fly between Jace and Layla?

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 USUAL And, I'll note, that if you ship Jake and Lucy you get Jucy or Juicy.

TALLA KNIGHT At the age of 18 I was raped coming home from a party and was left pregnant. This incident led to me being disowned by my parents because they didn't want me ruining their business image. With my mountain of debt slowing drowning me and making me nearly incapable of taking care of my daughter Sienna, I applied for a job at a rundown local bar that makes me work terrible hours for an even worse wage. On the fateful day when I got an urgent phone call from my parents saying a family dinner was taking place, I didn't think anything of it- other than the fact that I thought that they were going to try and convince me to give up my daughter once again. However, that night changed my life, because I came as a depressed, single mother and left as an overwhelmed, engaged woman to the biggest bachelor in America, Phoenix King. PHOENIX KING After the loss of my older brother Nathan in a fatal car crash three years ago, I've kept to myself and put all of my focus and effort into preparing to take over my father as the CEO of King's Lawyers, which is an international law firm that only employs the best lawyers. However, my parents had other plans for my future. I knew that they wanted me to have a family before I was 25, but I was currently too busy and too uninterested to put myself out there. What threw my entire life out of perspective, was when I went to a dinner with my parents to meet their old friends in law school, and somehow, I ended up engaged to a quiet and mysterious woman, who left promptly after signing the contract paper.
