   Summary

   “I didn’t want this.” She couldn’t think straight, her mind latching on to just that thought, her lips forming the words again and again as she held him tight, as if she could hold him back from death with clenched fingers, with knuckles as white as the soulmate mark she couldn’t look away from.

   Lucy decided at age four never to find her soulmate, to spare herself the heartache of a mate she couldn't imagine being tied to forever. And then Anthony Lockwood had to go and offer to be her decoy boyfriend to ward off harassment and catcallers.
