*~*Love Note: Luke to Lexie – Love is Messy Series by Emily Goodwin*~*
My life is a hot mess.
Single, working, and raising two daughters, it’s a miracle I get us up, dressed, and fed every morning. Forget about dating—nobody’s got time for that. Even if love hadn’t left me jaded, I’m not settling for anything less than perfect this time around.
Lucky for me, the perfect man just happens to work in my office. But there’s just one small problem: he’s my boss, and is totally off limits. But hey, if it’s meant to be, it’ll find a way, right?
Then a night out with friends turns into a night in with the walking-talking bad boy cliche of a bartender. It’s just one night. No harm, no foul, right?
Except when the hot bartender turns out to be my boss’s trouble-making brother, who wants more than just one night with me. The more I resist the spark between us, the more I find myself wanting him too. Which puts me in the middle of what could be the biggest sibling rivalry of the century.
Life is messy.
And love?
Well, love is even messier.
I’ve been burned before.
Once by love, twice by fire.
And I don’t know which hurt worse.
For years, I’ve been playing with fire. Both in the sheets and in the streets. But after a life changing accident, something had to give. Moving from Chicago to New York to live with my estranged brother is less than ideal, but it’s only temporary. To make it through the next year without killing each other, I need to stick to a few simple rules: no dating, no drama, no getting in each other’s business. Easy enough, right?
Then I met her, and the rules went out the window.
Problem is, he met her first.
Luke wrote Lexi a sweet little poem… 🙂

Dear Lexi,
Roses are red, violets are blue,
I suck at rhyming but I fucking love you.
I am so lucky that you are my wife
And I get to love you the rest of my life.
Our children could not ask for a better mother
And as for me, there will never be another
You are the best thing that’s happened to me
I knew as soon as I saw you we were meant to be
I hope my lame poem brought a smile to your face
Love Always, Luke, Aiden, Harper, Paige and Grace
(PS- I’m going to fuck you so hard you’ll be screaming my name tonight)
