Love Arranged (Lakefront Billionaires, #3)

by Lauren Asher

I eventually accepted that something was wrong with me…up until now. Until Lily. Because everything with her feels different. Better.

Lily is my new favorite drug, and my brain is rewiring itself so I’m completely dependent on her.

Lake Wisteria is my home, but Lorenzo…he is my heart.

“Why am I not good enough for you to stay?”

Maybe we were always doomed because neither of us is willing to sacrifice for the other. I won’t leave, and he won’t stay. It’s a tragedy that would make Shakespeare proud, and one I don’t fully understand. We were so close to that forever kind of happiness. I could feel it, could see it for the first time with Lorenzo after years spent searching for the right person. Only to be blindsided in the end.

“Has he been fine, though? Or has he made it seem that way because he hasn’t had any other choice right now while he’s been campaigning?” I sit with his words and process them. “I… Actually, I don’t know.” “Maybe you should ask him.”

Lorenzo laughs, and the sound makes my chest twinge.

“I’m not interested in buying your love. Where’s the fun in that?” “I already love you, so that’s not possible.”
