LUCY SHEPPARD Ten years ago Jake kissed me and ran. Eight years ago I learned the reason why. Five years ago, Jake came back for a night and I let him have what we both wanted, knowing he wouldn't be able to stay in town after all he went through. But that night led to a kid. And while I wouldn't take it back for the world, now that Jake's made a surprise visit and finds out he's a dad, I can't let my love for him sway me anymore. JAKE WHEATLEY Ten years ago I stole Lucy's first kiss because I thought it'd be the only thing I could have from her. Five years ago I took something even more important. And now I found out that night led to a kid. Lucy and my kid. I can't be a father, not when mine was the way he was. But I can't bring myself to leave Lucy's side this time. Maybe if it's just a little, I won't turn out like him. Third Time's the Charm is a standalone, steamy romance. This novella does contain material triggering for some: sexually explicit content, depictions of parental abuse, neglect, and demotic violence, and a depiction of panic attacks.
