Persuading Lucy

Book Description
You can't hide from destiny...This sexy 220+ page contemporary romance novel is guaranteed to have you hooked on Cal and Lucy's love/hate relationship until the very end.

Callum Hawthorne is one of those lucky guys who seem to have it all. He's a wealthy property tycoon, the CEO of his family's company. He's handsome, intelligent and charming and has a gorgeous new woman on his arm every week. But there's one thing still missing - the love of his life, Lucy Spencer.

Fourteen long years ago, Lucy left for college and cut off all contact with Cal, leaving their mutual friend Madison as his only connection. That was until in his effort to save his deceased father's beloved Gold Coast property, The Calypso, Cal contacts Insight Marketing, the best advertising firm in Melbourne, and discovers his Lucy among the team.

Successful marketing executive, Lucy Spencer had managed to avoid her ex-best friend for nearly half their lives. Fearful of trusting him, loving him and having her heart broken all over again, Lucy tries to keep her distance from him, but discovers that there is a fine line between love and hate, and maybe - just maybe - Cal could be her inescapable destiny.

PERSUADING LUCY is about broken friendships, lost love and the courage to heal all. If you love reading the novels of Mandy Magro and Rachael Johns, then you'll adore this steamy second-chance love story by award-winning author, Tammy Mannersly.

PERSUADING LUCY, a 1st Place WINNER for the prestigious 2018 CHATELAINE BOOK AWARDS FOR ROMANTIC FICTION, will quickly become your new favorite read!

Reviews
"5 Stars! BEST BOOK"
― Chanticleer Book Reviews

"Friendship is an endearing theme in this well-written, fast-paced novel. It exists in every form, long-time friends, new friends, the kind of friends who will help drown your sorrows in wine, and the kind who will literally and figuratively rescue you from yourself...the entire premise is based upon the friendship of Lucy and Cal, a lasting friendship that holds both love and hate."
― Andrea Murray, Book Reviewer, Chanticleer Book Review

From the Author
Hey lovely readers! Persuading Lucy is my second contemporary romance novel and sits closest to my heart. As well as being set in two of my favourite locations - Melbourne and the Gold Coast, Australia, the concept for the story is loosely based on real events. It's incredible what destiny has in store for us! While Cal and Lucy's story is one of romance and second chances, Persuading Lucy is also about friendship and what we lose when we leave people behind.

I hope you enjoy reading this enemies-to-lovers romance as much as I loved writing it! Please leave a review and let me know what you think of Cal and Lucy's story - thank you!: -)
