First Love? Forever Love? #New_Release #Persuading_Lucy

1/28/2018

 
Who was your first love? Mine was someone I knew all my life. He was my best friend growing up and ended up being someone I hung out with through high school, when he moved away. In Tammy Mannersly's latest release, Lucy has walked away from her first love but when he comes back into her life....will she take a second chance?

You can’t hide from destiny….

Callum Hawthorne is one of those lucky guys who seem to have it all. He’s a wealthy property tycoon, the CEO of his family’s company. He’s handsome, intelligent and charming and has a gorgeous new woman on his arm every week. But there’s one thing still missing – the love of his life, Lucy Spencer.
​
Fourteen long years ago, Lucy left for college and cut off all contact with Cal, leaving their mutual friend Madison as his only connection. That was until in his effort to save his deceased father’s beloved Gold Coast property, The Calypso, Cal contacts Insight Marketing, the best advertising firm in Melbourne, and discovers his Lucy among the team.

Successful marketing executive, Lucy Spencer had managed to avoid her ex-best friend for nearly half their lives. Fearful of trusting him, loving him and having her heart broken all over again, Lucy tries to keep her distance from him, but discovers that there is a fine line between love and hate, and maybe – just maybe – Cal could be her inescapable destiny.
 
 
EXCERPT
Cal was flabbergasted. What had happened? What had he missed?

Then, distracted by her outburst, he made another mistake and his grip on Lucy’s wrist loosened slightly. As if sensing his lapse in control, she used the whole weight of her small frame to jerk herself free of his hold and with a triumphant sigh she began to back away.

“So, you orchestrated this together, did you? What, did you seduce Maddy too? Why can’t you just leave me alone?”

Cal’s gaze narrowed with concern. “What are you talking about, Luce?”

Worried that she’d run before he had a chance to explain, Cal reached out and took a step toward her. But, Lucy immediately backed farther away, taking two steps for his single stride.

“What did you give her to make her finally tell you where I was?”

Her fiery glare was enough to make his fingers ache to touch her, to soothe her. He hated seeing her in so much distress.

“Nothing.” His voice was calm, pacifying. “She didn’t tell me.”

Lucy frowned and her gaze dropped from his, confusion clearly clouding her expression.

“But I—” She shook her head with irritation and glanced back up at him. “But how did you know that I’d be here?”

Cal smiled as he remembered the moment of pure serendipity, the second he’d seen her gorgeous face on the team’s profile page on the Insight Marketing website. Executive Manager Lucy S., it had read. Cal had tried searching the internet for her before, but to no avail. There had always been too many Lucy Spencers and he’d been convinced that she must have altered her name. Yet, this time he’d found her, so simply found her, as though the universe had finally pointed her out to him.

“Fate,” he said confidently.
