From Sunday Times and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over

SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO GET BURNED...

Fire Chief Lincoln Reed is known for his heroics in the fire department - and in the bedroom. Life is a never-ending good time. Until he meets Mackenzie O'Neil at the scene of an accident. Too bad she seems immune to flirty first responders . . .

After experiencing severe burnout, Mack's temporary job as a small-town family physician is just what the doctor ordered. She'll learn to meditate. Sleep more. Maybe take up gardening. But Linc and his tattoos are very distracting.

It's all naked fun and games until shadows from Mack's past find their way into her present. Can she ever escape them? And can Linc be her hero when she needs him the most?

Welcome to your new obsession: Lucy's BRAND NEW Story Lake series, starting with Story of My Life!
