Lucas by Elle James

Former Delta Force Operator, Lucas LeBlanc, has lost everyone he’s ever loved and is afraid to commit his heart to anyone. He believes he’s the black cloud, the bad luck killing off the people he dares to love as family, friend or lover. After leaving the military, he joins Brotherhood Protectors where he hopes he can put his combat training and skills to work helping others.

As Matron of Honor of her best friend’s wedding, the owner of Bayou Mambaloa’s only flower shop, Felina Faivre, is responsible for providing flowers and making sure the wedding goes off without a hitch. Never mind her best friend is marrying Felina’s former fiancé.
When her best-laid plans start falling apart and “accidents” threaten the wedding, Felina hires Brotherhood Protectors to help see her through the wedding, but only if the man they assign goes undercover as her new boyfriend and wedding date. After all, she has a wedding and her ego to save.
Assigned to Felina’s case, Lucas doesn’t inform his boss he’s gotten sideways with the pretty flower shop owner. There to work a case, he’s determined to set aside any differences and successfully protect Felina and see that her plans result in a hitchless wedding. Together, Felina and Lucas wade through troubled waters and a brewing storm only to discover a traitor among them and a passion that threatens to turn to rubble the walls they’ve erected around their hearts.
