Release Blitz: Protecting Mr. Fine : Lucy Lennox
I’m a lucky man and I know it.
Kids from backwoods Georgia don’t land scholarships to Yale, but I did, and striking it rich–like, billions of dollars rich–with my best friends after graduation should have used up my luck for a lifetime.
But luck struck again when I followed my passion into music. My career exploded, and now I get to travel the world, performing for thousands of raving fans every night.
When you get this lucky, you don’t get to want more, and you definitely don’t get to complain about the little things. My family, my crew, and my label are counting on me and I refuse to let them down. I pretend I’m fine, totally fine, Mr. freaking Fine… even when someone starts targeting me with a strange series of threats.
The only one who sees beneath the pretense is my gorgeous, strictly-professional bodyguard. Ryan keeps me safe and calm. He holds me when I’m terrified.
But even Ryan doesn’t see everything. He doesn’t know I want him. That I crave him. The man who keeps me together has no idea how much I want him to take me apart.
And I’ll never tell. Because there’s no way someone as strong and confident as Ryan could have feelings for someone as chaotic as me.
Nobody’s that lucky… not even Mr. Fine.
Zane Hendley otherwise known as rockstar Zee Barlow seems to live a charmed life and always just says he’s fine. He loves to help others, but he doesn’t really like to take help himself. He came from a poor background so he makes sure that he gives back to the community, is there for his friends, and is generally a wonderful and generous guy. But when it comes to his own safety, he’s generally thought it was overzealous even if he does like having his hunky bodyguard Ryan around. But recently he has been targeted by threats. And now Mr. Fine is really not so fine even if he is pretending to be...just fine.
Ryan "Bear" Galloway is his bodyguard assigned by the record label. He is attentive, intuitive, protective, and has it bad for Zane. He’s not only protecting him because it’s his job but because he truly cares. And he can see under Zane’s Mr. Fine façade to see that he is actually starting to be more anxious and worried about the situation. And Bear is also the one who seems to be able to calm Zane when something does go wrong.
So the bodyguard is crushing on the rockstar and the rock star is crushing on the bodyguard who he doesn’t even know if he is straight or gay so it is all secret and confusing. They’re also dealing with threats and people who want things from Zane and they’re just trying to find a safe harbor for a little while which puts them in close proximity. As they start to be more vulnerable and realize they both want to share some new experiences together, they are in a safe space to do so temporarily. I loved these two together and how they truly saw and trusted each other. And the vulnerability and exploration were tender and passionate.
But eventually, they have to face real life and their jobs, figure out who the threat is for their safety, and determine what is really important for each of their futures. The suspense and mystery element also added layers to the story.
This is a grumpy-sunshine, bodyguard-rockstar, secret relationship, sexual discovery, forced proximity romance with just enough suspense and plenty of feels. This brings back all of their friends from Majestic and their partners and some fun cameos. I love that this group and the found family and home compound. It sets up the next book nicely and I cannot wait for Landry and Kenji and all of their shenanigans.

Rowe Prince is many things.
Gorgeous? Yes.
Unintentionally hilarious? Absolutely.
The hottest, sunshiniest virgin to ever set foot in Manhattan? Oh, yeah.
One thing he’s not, though, is a reclusive billionaire named Sterling Chase who supposedly founded my company. So when the man (literally) stumbles into a charity gala saying precisely that, I do what anyone would: I set out to prove he’s a liar.
Except it turns out Rowe’s ridiculous falsehoods are surprisingly… enchanting. The heart of gold beneath his borrowed tux makes even a jaded businessman like me start to believe in fairy tales. And there’s no faking the heat between us when the man’s in my bed.
But when it turns out Rowe’s lies conceal a secret that threatens the company I’ve spent years building, I have to choose: say goodbye to the sweet pretender I’m falling for, or risk everything for a man who just might be… the prince of lies.
Marrying Mr. Majestic
The Billionaire Brotherhood #2
The Billionaire Brotherhood #2
I’ve made myself into many things over the years. A Yale graduate. A brilliant corporate strategist. A city boy. And, though no one outside my inner circle knows it, a billionaire.
One thing I never expected to be? Accidentally married to a straight, small-town cowboy named Waylon, the pride and joy of… *checks notes*... Majestic, Wyoming.
Sadly, what happens in Vegas does not, in fact, stay in Vegas, and before I know it, I’m trying to track my erstwhile husband down, divorce papers in hand and thrift store clothes on my back, desperately hoping the stranger I married won’t realize he’s suddenly entitled to a lot more than that shiny gold ring on his finger.
Unfortunately, Way has other plans.
His town is counting on him as mayor to bring the lucrative AdventureSmash wilderness race to Majestic, and he refuses to sign my papers until the deal is done… which means me and my second-hand blue jeans will be hanging around a lot longer than I’d imagined, pretending our one-night whatever-it-was was a love match for the ages.
As it turns out, Majestic is more charming than I’d expected, and Way… is not entirely without charms himself. It also turns out he’s, ahem, not as straight as he thought he was.
Before I know it, dusty boots feel more comfortable than my shiny wingtips, coffee at the Love Muffin tastes better than Starbucks, and being the First Husband of Majestic starts to seem as important as any corporate merger I’ve ever negotiated.
But for a man with secrets to keep and a whole life waiting for him back in Manhattan, the only thing worse than Marrying Mr. Majestic… would be falling in love with him for real.

I was a man without a family… or so I thought.
I came to tiny Majestic, Wyoming, to escape misfortune: the loss of my brother; my parents’ blame for it; the billion-dollar secret that caused it all.
I find peace in my horses, in my friends, in quiet nights alone… and sometimes in remembering a scorching-hot one-night-stand from two years ago.
But everything changes when Tully Bowman, the man behind that unforgettable encounter, turns up in Majestic bringing me the daughter I’ve inherited (along with her multi-million-dollar trust fund).
Just like that, my peace becomes chaos, my quiet nights are filled with little Lellie’s cries for “Daddy,” and the heat between Tully and me becomes more than just a memory.
Because it seems Tully’s planning to stick around… at least until I prove I’m a “suitable father” and not the fortune-hunter Lellie’s grandparents think I am. And the longer we spend together–the more he challenges and provokes me, comforts and calms me–the harder it is to remember why I ever thought one night would be enough.
I’m a bad bet for fatherhood, but if I choose to keep Lellie and raise her as my own, it won’t be for her money. It will be because this precious girl and the man who brought her to me might be the fresh start and new family my heart has been looking for.
And because the best thing that ever happened to me might just be… Inheriting Miss Fortune.

After enjoying creative writing as a child, Lucy didn’t write her first novel until she was over 40 years old. Her debut novel, Borrowing Blue, was published in the autumn of 2016. Lucy has an English Literature degree from Vanderbilt University, but that doesn’t hold a candle to the years and years of staying up all night reading tantalizing novels on her own. She has three children, plays tennis, and hates folding laundry. While her husband is no shmoopy romance hero, he is very good at math, cooks a mean lasagne, has gorgeous eyes, looks hot in his business clothes, and makes her laugh every single day.
Lucy hopes you enjoy sexy heroes as much as she does. Happy reading!
