The Best Laid Plans of Lucile Allen

Lucile Allen is officially in her hot mess era. For years Lucy took all the steps to ensure that her life was the epitome of success—or at least to make it look like it was. Rock bottom was never the place she expected to be. Now on the brink of turning 30, single, and using her law license to wait tables, Lucy has made a new plan to get her life back on track. But just as she's about to have it all together again, the reappearance of a past crush threatens to distract her.

Lucile Allen was once the definition of having it all together. However, after a severe panic attack and a nasty breakup, the once successful lawyer finds herself crashing at her best friend's house and using her law license to wait tables. Not helping her bruised ego is the sudden reappearance of Sebastian Torres, her one time nemesis turned fake boyfriend turned real crush turned the one who broke her heart. To call their past complicated is an understatement. Never planning on having to deal with her unresolved attraction to Sebastian, Lucy finds herself unable to resist being close to him. But it's not like a casual fling could make anything in her life messier than it already is, right? Especially if she keeps anyone else in her life from ever finding out about it. The Best Laid Plans of Lucile Allen is a romantic comedy with witty banter, complex relationships, and emotional depth.
