Lakeweed, Lust & Longing

She doesn't do love.
He won't touch her without it.

Welcome to the least convenient summer of Bunny Malone's life.

She came to Ashby Lake to relax.
Instead, she nearly drowns on Day One and gets rescued by Caleb—shirtless, steady, and entirely too good for her peace of mind.

Bunny has rules:
No attachments. No expectations. No staying.

Caleb has one:
Nothing physical without something real.

So obviously… this is a disaster.

Because Bunny wants him.
And Caleb? He's not going anywhere.

But when jealousy, bad decisions, and one very public misunderstanding collide, Bunny's carefully controlled world starts to crack—and for the first time, walking away might hurt more than staying.

A witty, addictive small-town romance about control, connection, and the terrifying risk of letting someone truly see you.
