Loving Lucas

Lucas is as dysfunctional as he is beautiful.

Olivia is as cynical as she is sweet.

Together they are beautifully broken

Lucas –

Broken. Shattered into tiny shards of glass. That’s how love left me.

I’m done with love.

I have no place for it in my life.

Sex- now that’s a different story.

There’s always room for sex and a willing participant nearby.

Until I find myself in the middle of the street with egg yolk dripping off me.

In this moment, everything changes.

 All I want is to spend every minute of every day with the woman who came crashing into me.

Olivia-

I’m a romantic at heart.

I read romance novels, and watch the epic movies.

Too bad it’s all make believe.

I know better than to trust in fairytales or believe in happily ever after.

Lucas scares me. He smashes through my defenses and forces his way into my life. Once he’s there, it’s only a matter of time before he takes possession of my heart.  

He’s been hurt and betrayed.

He doesn’t trust me and I’m scared to death of him.  

When love has so much against it, can it find a way to survive?
