BAND OF BACHELORS: LUCAS Synopsis:
Special Operator Lucas Shipley thought his living arrangement was temporary, since getting booted from the house by his wife. He sleeps on a couch in the apartment with four other divorced Navy SEALs, thinking he’ll get the call to come home any day. He ignores the not-so-helpful advice his buddies are giving him about marriage, women and romance. Until he gets served with divorce papers.
Realtor Marcy Gelland is hired by Lucas’ soon-to-be ex-wife to liquidate all their real estate holdings and help her orchestrate a speedy departure from Lucas’ life. Based on what the hot-headed SEAL wife has told her, Marcy understands Lucas deserves every ounce of pain coming his way.
But when Marcy and Lucas are left alone together in the remote Northern California woods, they ignite a personal bonfire that threatens to burn down the whole forest. Marcy is forced to see she is wrong about Lucas.
Amidst the backdrop of hardened bachelor SEALs with their unsolicited, anti-long-term relationship advice, and a terrorist training camp operating nearby, Lucas must do what he’s always done: be the hero and save the day. But will it be in time to save Marcy?

“See,
that’s where you guys go wrong. You don’t treat women with respect.”
No
one said a word. Then the unofficial spokesman for the group, Jake, inserted
his opinion. “So, if you feel like you don’t fit in, why don’t you fuckin’
leave?”
The
silence that followed made Lucas nervous. He could sense more than a couple of
his buddies felt he’d crossed the line. There were some hurt feelings they
often didn’t verbalize, but he sure could feel it. He knew he had to be
careful.
“You
don’t know a damned thing until you’ve really walked around in another man’s
shoes. Or, in Cory’s case, his high heels.” Lucas delivered it straight and for
just one second he thought he’d made thing worse.
But
then the catcalls began, which was a signal things were returning to normal.
Lucas relaxed enough to apologize and make it sound like he meant it. And he
did. The doorbell buzzed.
“You
know,” said Jake, who walked over to Lucas and fist-bumped him, “you’re
probably right. You’re the one who’s gonna make it in this relationship game.
For us assholes, well, I think we’re pretty much fucked.”
All
of them laughed.
The
doorbell buzzed again twice this time, and Cory jogged over and opened it.
Lucas couldn’t hear anything but a sweet voice asking if she could talk to
Lucas. He didn’t know how, but he just knew it belonged to the lady in the red
VW. She knows my name? He was flattered, until he remembered his
situation, and Connie.
“Sure,
come right in, ma’am,” Cory offered, showing her the way with his arm.
Her
bright red lips were the same color as the VW. She had the whole ladybug thing
going on—with her black skirt, the black and white polka-dot blouse that was a
bit sheer, showing him she wore bright white, lacy underthings—his personal
favorite. She kept her knees together as she carefully stepped over their dirty
carpet, her spiked heels making her balance a little difficult. She extended
her hand with the charm bracelet softly clinking, and he extended his.
“Holy
crap, Shipley, you’ve been holding out on us,” someone said. The team separated
and gave Lucas and the girl space like a drop of oil in water.
“So,
you’re Lucas Shipley,” she said sweetly, and then gave him a devilish smile
that made his shorts erupt.
He
nodded nervously as she shifted her bag, which had fallen off her shoulder.
“Excuse
me,” she said as she extracted her hand and unzipped her purse. Bringing out a
large white envelope, she didn’t give him time to stop admiring her shapely form.
“You’ve
been served.”
