Heartsick & Lipsticks

Nick Locke
My life was exactly how I'd planned it. Growing up, I wanted to rule the world, and being CEO of Locke Media Group fulfilled that dream. I'd started with nothing and built a billion-dollar empire one brick at a time. My motto was work hard, play harder. Becoming a single dad had rearranged my priorities, but I still found time to live up to the title I'd earned of San Francisco's Most Eligible Bachelor.

Settling down was not in the plan...until I met her. She took me by surprise and had me reevaluating my bachelor status. Single life was all I'd ever known and ever wanted, but that was before I knew and wanted her.

My life was not how I'd planned it. Growing up, my dreams were nursery rhymed inspired; love comes first, then marriage, then a baby carriage. Things hadn't gone in that order. Becoming a teen mom by a man who wanted nothing to do with me or our baby was not how I'd envisioned my life. But I rolled with the punches making the executive decision to focus on my daughter and my career.

No dating. No drama. No problem. I'd managed to go fifteen years living by that credo. But then I met him. I never saw him coming and he had me not only rethinking my choices but also bending all my rules.

Author's Heartsick & Lipsticks is an opposites attract, single dad/single mom, forced proximity, insta-love, slow burn, reformed playboy, billionaire romance. This happily-ever-after is as far from cookie-cutter as you can get. The recipe for this romance is one part hot and tasty tattooed hero, one part sweet and savory sworn-off-relationships heroine, and two parts spicy and seasoned meddling family and friends. This delectable dish is sprinkled with zesty and zingy humor, drizzled with tender caramelized aww-inducing connections, and marinated with spicy sizzling sexiness. Bon appétit.
