Persuade
#1 International Blockbuster, Allure, captured readers instantly as they ventured to the fast-paced Las Vegas Strip and into the exotic all-male review club, Leathers. Now, readers can join the smokin’ Leathers men again, in an all-new, stand-alone story, Persuade!
Sexy Asher Denton thought he'd spend his entire career in the Navy. Never in a million years did he imagined that choice would end with him killing his best friend. Now, back in civilian life and struggling to get a new job and degree, he’s suffering from nightmares and the guilt of his hidden secret. He’s also avoiding his mom’s house since Sutton, the mother of his best friend is her next-door neighbor.
Asher’s always had a thing for Sutton. Even though she’s 13 years his senior, she’s the only woman he’s ever wanted, and now he can barely look her in the eye. But when the phone rings in the middle of night and Sutton tells Asher an ambulance has taken his mom to the hospital, he suddenly finds himself thrown back into Sutton’s life.
With both of them grieving, it’s only natural that the two close friends begin to gravitate together. Throwing caution to the wind, Asher decides to do all in his power to persuade Sutton to give him a chance, but can he honestly give her his heart without confessing the one thing that will undoubtedly destroy her, along with all his hopes and dreams?

About the author
Lacey Weatherford
55 books3,911 followersLacey Weatherford was born in Ft. Meade Maryland while her father was serving in the military. She has been a life long resident of Arizona, spending most of her time growing up in the small rural town of Clay Springs.
It was while she was attending the small country school in Clay Springs, that she read her first "big" book at the age of eight. It was a Nancy Drew novel and Lacey was instantly hooked. She read every book that she could find in the series and decided that she wanted to write stories too.
Lacey spent a lot of time at the library from that time forward, even volunteering in her later teen years and early twenties. She would don a crazy clown outfit for the Friends of the Library fundraisers in an effort to help get the new town library built.
When she and her husband moved away from the area, Lacey took the opportunity to take some creative writing classes at the local college to help further along her interests. Several years later, they were blessed with the opportunity to move back to Clay Springs with their family. The town had finally succeeded in building their library and Lacey had the opportunity to be President of the Friends of the Library for a very short time, before relocating.
Lacey and her family still live in the White Mountains of Arizona, where she continues to write young adult novels that have a fantasy/fairytale or paranormal bent to them, as well as being sure to include a great romantic storyline!

Did Not Finish
May 15, 2026Not bad, just not for me. I prefer no insta attraction from Fmc side. Especially bcz MMC is her dead son's best friend, and she basically think of him like her son too. Fmc already attracted to him in less than 30 pages, so I lost interest.

Movie worthy
Love the storyline. The romance and drama really got to me. The love that conquered the pains through forgiveness. The intensity of Sutton and Asher's love is sooo hot. I just feel that this is so movie worthy, hope Hollywood takes notice. Hello.....oh btw, Congratulations Lacey!
