MEET LUCIA

forbidden romance & age gap stories

Lucia Franco resides in South Florida. She was a competitive athlete for over ten years – a gymnast and cheerleader – which heavily inspired the Off Balance series.

Her novel Hush, Hush was a finalist in the 2019 Stiletto Contest hosted by Contemporary Romance Writers, a chapter of Romance Writers of America. Her novels are being translated into several languages.

When Lucia isn’t writing, you can find her relaxing with her toes in the sand at a nearby beach with her husband and two sons. She runs on caffeine and scorching hot sunshine.

A BROTHERS BEST FRIEND ROMANCE

I’m living a double life.

During the day, I help women gain their confidence and look their best.

On the weekends, I encourage women to embrace their sexuality on the darker side of the web. 

After all, sex is beauty.

When my older brother’s best friend appears at my family’s cabin the night I’m filming an episode, I’m surprised to see him. It’s been six years since Reed vanished from my life.

After learning where he’s been and why, I offer him an opportunity to start over. Reed is reluctant. He’s on probation, loyal to my brother, and doesn’t want to do anything to jeopardize his freedom. 

So we agree that his identity will remain a secret and that my brother will never find out
