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. \u003cstrong\u003eThen she twists her ankle stumbling off a curb and lands - literally - in the arms of the last person she expected to see.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuke 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.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLucky 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.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 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.
