Easy Way Out

She’s writing the next chapter of her life story one decision at a time…and overthinking all of them.

Lucy Torres is stuck. Don’t misunderstand—she loves her friends, her town, her work; she even loves having her mom as her roomie. Life is comfortable. Predictable. Safe. But now her mom wants to downsize to a condo of her own, and Lucy has to face that her “temporary” living situation has lasted a little too long. It’s time for change.

The trouble is, Lucy’s been waiting. For the spark her grandmother swore would come in her twenty-sixth year—this year—the magic that would point her toward what’s supposed to come next in her life. Lucy wants to move forward, but only with purpose. She wants direction. A nudge from the universe. Some sort of a sign, but she hasn’t yet seen one.

So when a charming newcomer sweeps her off her feet, Lucy dares to believe the moment has arrived. Maybe this is the sign she’s been holding out for. But the more she chases a different life, the harder it gets, and she risks overlooking the quiet truth that’s been unfolding around her all along. In the end, Lucy will have to dig deep and decide what is worth trusting: magic that dazzles, or love that lasts.
