What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas - sometimes, it follows you straight to your heart.
Eden Stuart has her life exactly the way she likes it: freedom, bylines, and zero obligations to anyone but herself. A sharp-tongued, fiercely independent Black freelance writer in her forties, Eden has built a career from turning her own chaos into copy. So when a birthday trip to Las Vegas with her best friends turns into a couples' extravaganza - complete with matching khaki husbands - she's determined to make the best of it. Then she twists her ankle stumbling off a curb and lands - literally - in the arms of the last person she expected to see.
Luke Kostoros was the sweet, baby-faced college kid from Eden's Northwestern days; her old dorm neighbor who always carried a torch she never acknowledged. Now he's a tattooed, impossibly gorgeous sculptor with a complicated life of his own - and he's sitting right across from her in a Vegas emergency room. The years between them are gone in an instant, and what neither of them planned for is the undeniable electricity that crackles back to life.
Lucky Break is a witty, steamy, and deeply felt second-chance romance that asks whether two people who missed each other the first time around can be brave enough to stop running.
From the neon-drenched art districts of Old Vegas to the lakefront skyline of Chicago, Eden and Luke navigate the space between who they were and who they've become - wrestling with old wounds, new desires, and the terrifying possibility that the one who got away may have circled back for a reason. With Eden's signature voice - hilarious, self-aware, and achingly honest - she finds that the greatest risk isn't falling. It's trusting that someone will catch her.
Perfect for readers who love multicultural romance, strong heroines who resist happily-ever-after until it's undeniable, and love stories that feel real, messy, and worth it.
Lucky Break is a love letter to second chances, female friendship, and the kind of lucky that only arrives when you finally get out of your own way.
