Lucky’s is the only safe place for fifty miles. It is also the one thing everyone wants to take from them.
Best friends. Small-town heat. Twelve years of wanting.
Ren Delacroix has been in love with Sunny Reed for twelve years. As co-owner of Lucky’s, Ren pours her life into two jobs. Keeping the bar standing. Keeping her secret buried.
Sunny Reed holds her world together with both hands. Single mom.The heart behind the counter.
The glue in a found family that drinks, laughs, and survives.
Then Sunny’s ex drags their lives into court. He uses Lucky’s like a weapon. He uses Sunny’s identity like a match.
Ren and Sunny tighten their grip until their knuckles turn white. Need turns into late nights. Late nights turn into sparks.
And twelve years of silence finally catches fire.
With a court date looming and the bar on the line, their friendship starts to feel like the last door in a burning building.
Ren and Sunny stand in the heat together, and one choice in the dark finally turns twelve years of wanting into something they cannot take back.
Slow Burn at Lucky’s is a sapphic friends-to-lovers romance featuring small-town Texas heat, a found family worth fighting for, and two women who've waited long enough. Guaranteed HEA.
