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. 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.\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. It's trusting that someone will catch her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect 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.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLucky Break\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 318\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.67 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 28, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45912901517447,"sku":"9781959743057","price":19.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/0Mt1AvAkqL9781959743057.webp?v=1790074222","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/lucky-break-paperback-7","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
