"Twin brothers fall for the same woman"

Waitress Lucy O'Malley has a tendency to be all thumbs at times. Her good nature makes up for her lack of grace. All Lucy wants is to find a man to love her, just as she is. Just seconds after she voices her wish to her fellow waitress, the man of Lucy's dreams walks in the diner's door. Too bad Lucy feels humiliated after literally throwing herself at his feet. Oh, okay, so she tripped while getting up to show him to a seat. Such a hunk would never be interested in a mess like her.

Matt Diamond has taken a year-long construction project to get away from an ex-girlfriend who isn't quite all there. Matt's sworn off women for a while, or so he thinks. When he meets Lucy, Matt finds himself drawn to her despite his reluctance to begin a new relationship. After a spectacular first date, he and Lucy settle into a comfortable love affair that is well on the way to the altar.

When Matt's ex shows up at an inopportune time, Matt asks his twin brother Jake to step in for him for Lucy's class reunion. Matt knows that going to this reunion is Lucy's way to show off her changed physique since high school and to get even with all the snobs who tormented her. Jake just has to keep Lucy from realizing the switch for this one night. Keeping his hands off her might be harder than he ever imagined. When Jake falls for Lucy too, things get complicated.

When the truth comes out (as it is wont to do), heartbreak ensues. How can one woman love two men? Which brother will Lucy choose? Will she walk away from the only men she's ever truly loved? Lucy is a feisty redhead with a temper to match. After she gets her revenge, will Lucy be able to find a way to keep at least one Diamond in her life?

LUCY'S DOUBLE DIAMONDS is an engaging contemporary love triangle. With an unexpected twist at the end, readers will find the resolution very satisfying. Ms. Storm's writing style is somewhat on the blunt side, so don't expect flowery love scenes. Instead, the reader can read about the earthy sexual encounters between Lucy and Matt. And Lucy and Jake. And... You'll have to read the story for yourself to find out more!

Summary

Lucy O'Malley wants to find a man—someone who will cool the fire that crackles in her blood. That doesn't seem too much for a gal to ask. Then Matt Diamond, the man of her heated dreams, strolls through the door of the café where she is employed. Bulging muscles, worn jeans, and bedroom eyes wrapped up in one big package of pure male testosterone are enough to make Lucy slide right off a stool.

Matt is blindsided by the redheaded woman prone to fumbling her way throughout her days. All he meant to do was duck into a restaurant for a quick burger. What he got was a red- hot tamale lying on the floor at his feet. Setting out for only a one-night stand, Matt is surprised at the depth of emotion that comes over him the first time he holds Lucy in his arms.

Enter Jake, Matt's twin brother and mirror image. Never in his wildest dreams did he think his brother's new love would steal his heart instantly.

Lucy's going to have to figure out how to deal with the double love of her double Diamonds—because both brothers set her body on fire, and both of them have captured her heart.
