A Little Bit of Lust

Love-cynical Lucy Bernard delights in her independence--baking, all things Instagram, the occasional fling, and most of all, hanging out with best friends Phoebe Karis and Deon Goldbloom. But when Deon kisses Lucy at the beach on a chilly afternoon, the two friends secretly jump into a lust-filled romantic weekend. So what's with slotting her into "ignore" status afterward? Too embarrassed to confide in Phoebe, she silently buries the humiliation. Deon is a widower who can't move on after his wife's death. Is he a little crazy spending a sexy few days with Lucy and calling it the best time he's had in four years? Yeah. Except blue Monday comes calling, and Deon isn't ready for the guilt. Lucy wonders how a smoochy weekend turns into a friends-with-benefits disaster. And Deon wonders if he's made the biggest mistake of his life. Using all his nerdy charms, he launches a campaign to bring Lucy around. Maybe they can chart a course back to one another if she will only forgive him.
