Queen of the May

At seventeen, Lucy Tan was offered the lead in the school musical Queen of the May. She turned it down in favour of working on set design with her beloved teacher, August Herron. Later, she wishes she hadn't. As she grows older, Lucy realises her life calls for a lot of compromises. She works at her dream job, but since that means being off the grid and unavailable for half of every year, sustaining a romance is difficult. Catch and release is her solution, but that's a compromise, too. What she needs is a man she can put in cold storage…or maybe one with an off switch.

She doesn't find one like that, but she does find Paris, who is sexy, gorgeous and devoted to her pleasure. She can't exactly take him home to meet her parents, though. For one thing, he lives in fairyland, where he spends most of his time attending to the needs of lonely women. For another, he has a weird aversion to wearing clothes.

But Lucy is determined. This is her life, and this time, she's going to play the leading role.
