About the Author
Laylah can remember scouring the internet, searching for Daddy stories, reading all she could get her hands on. When she ran out, she decided to give writing one of her own a try, and her Haley books were born. She’s written other books in different genres, but Daddy/Little stories always remain special to her. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, chasing after her seven-year-old, and ignoring her never-ending washing pile.
Chapter One
“Who the hell are you?”
Lucie smiled, ignoring the grouchy greeting. “Hi, I’m Lucie Starr.”
The enormous man standing in the doorway of the cabin stared down at her from his intimidating height. At only five foot two, she was used to everyone being taller than her, but this man had to have at least a foot on her.
Not everyone was a morning person, although she had waited until after nine to pop over.
That was a reasonable hour, right? But maybe not to the dark-haired man scowling down at her. He crossed his arms over his broad chest. With his plaid shirt and long beard, he was totally pulling off the sexy lumberjack look.
She nearly fanned herself.
That he was scowling at her like she was dog poo he’d stepped in should have turned her off.
Should have.
However, Lucie wasn’t deterred by his frown or surly tone.
“I’m your neighbor,” she said when he didn’t say anything else. She resisted the urge to wipe her face. She’d checked before leaving the house and she was pretty sure she was presentable. Even her sweater was on the right way, which was a bonus for her.
“I live just over at that house.” Their houses were nestled back from the road amongst the trees, but you could clearly see her house peeking through the trees.
He grunted.
Okay, then.
She held up the plate of snickerdoodles. “I made these for you. A welcome to the neighborhood. I mean, I’m not sure you can call it a neighborhood when there are only five houses along this road. We live in the middle of nowhere, don’t we? I kind of like it, though. Nice and quiet.”
“It was.”
Was he implying that it wasn’t quiet because of her? Her smile drooped slightly. Okay, he could be grouchy, but there wasn’t any need to be mean.
“Well, sorry to disturb you. Just wanted to say hi and bring you these.” She held them out.
He kept his arms crossed. The rejection made the back of her throat burn.
Kill them with kindness, Lucie.
She still remembered her gran telling her that when some of the girls at school had been picking on her because she’d been a late developer.
So all she did was widen her smile and set the plate down on his porch. She guessed she wasn’t going to be invited inside for tea and cookies.
Damn, she missed Charlotte, the woman who had lived in the cabin before him. She’d been close to Lucie’s age, funny and friendly. But she’d returned home to London to look after her mother, who was ill.
“Bye then. Be seeing you.” She waved and took off, moving her short legs as fast as they’d go.
