All the Waters of the Earth
Neighbors to lovers feel-good romance.
Romance novelist Lucy Figueroa lives a life of the imagination. While her stories are filled with fictional alpha male heroes, her real life is filled with nothing but Mr. Wrongs. As a sassy, strong, single mom, she doesn’t need anyone… except maybe a new book idea. And to forgive herself for the mistakes of the past.
Lucy’s sexy new neighbor, Jake Slausen, looks like one of her characters come to life. While he fits the heartthrob part, he doesn’t act it, too distracted by his cell phone and his job for any relationship. Damaged by his childhood, he’s ignored his true calling and goes through his days on autopilot…until he meets Lucy.
First drawn together by chemistry, then by a fierce need to protect each other even from themselves, will Jake and Lucy learn to accept their pasts or will they convince themselves that happily ever afters only exist in romance novels?

Love Words from Jake to Lucy
To my wife, Lucy,
From the moment I met you in that tiny bikini to the day you said, “Yes.”
From the day you said, “I do,” to the day you gave birth to our daughters, first one, then the other.
From one minute ago to now, I have loved you.
And I always will.
I love the way you put your hands on your hips when you’re going to give me a lecture.
I love the way you work so hard at being a writer and own your success.
I love the way you are someone I look up to and respect. I love your tenacity and your unwillingness to settle for anything less than what you deserve—and what our children deserve.
I love the way you care for our children.
Thank you for sharing Rob with me. He’s our son now. Thank you for our girls. Thank you for giving me hope for the future and redemption from my past.
You woke me up. You made my life meaningful. You made me live.
You will always be my muse. I love the way you look under my brush strokes. I love the curves of your body. Your luscious hair. Your gorgeous face.
I am so grateful you chose me. And I want to live up to it every day.
Put on your heels and wear something that makes you feel good.
While you know I appreciate your efforts, you’re also the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, first thing in the morning with no makeup on, rumpled and sleepy and sexy as hell.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
I love you.
Jake
About the Author
Leslie McAdam is a California girl who loves romance, Little Dude, and well-defined abs. She lives in a drafty old farmhouse on a small orange tree farm in Southern California with her husband and two small children. Leslie always encourages her kids to be themselves – even if it means letting her daughter wear leopard print from head to toe. An avid reader from a young age, she will always trade watching TV for reading a book, unless it’s Top Gear. Or football. Leslie is employed by day but spends her nights writing about the men you fantasize about. She’s unapologetically sarcastic and notoriously terrible at comma placement.
Always up for a laugh, Leslie tries to see humor in all things. When she’s not in the writing cave you’ll find her fangirling over Beck, camping with her family, or mixing up oil paints to depict her love of outdoors on canvas.
