Lucky Houston has hotfooted it out of Cradle Creek, TN the first chance she got. With a check for five thousand dollars in her pocket, and farewells to her sisters, she boarded a bus to the town of glitter: Las Vegas. She'd made a promise to her deceased father, and she meant to keep it. She had a score to settle. But first she had to find a job...
Nick Chenault finds himself hanging out at the bus station, waiting for his father's valet/nurse to pick him up and return home, when he see's a woman he just knows he's meant to have. He can't take his eyes off her, and for the first time in years, finds himself trying to pick up a woman with a cheesy pick up a line. When Lucky refuses, and grabs a taxi, Nick is bummed-although he knows he would have been disappointed if she'd have accepted.
After securing a makeover, and a place to live, and having the good luck to have a wonderful landlady-Fluffy LaMont--Lucky goes on the hunt for a job-dealing cards. In this town, a gorgeous woman like her has trouble being taken seriously. But Fluffy has directed her to the famous Club 52-which just happens to be the club that Nick Chenault owns. Having mistaken Nick for a pimp at the bus stop, Lucky is astounded when she finally comes face to face with her boss after overhearing some disturbing things. Nick is even more amazed...and thrilled the one woman who has held his attention is now right where he can get to her.
Nick and Lucky are drawn to one another irresistibly, and it's not long before a relationship develops between them. But Lucky hasn't yet realized that the score she still has to settle will lead her inexplicably back to Nick...
In another wonderful love story, with elements of suspense, Ms. Sala has once again delivered. Lucky is a spunky, determined modern woman who has many obstacles to overcome, and a hard time accepting love. Nick is an incredibly sexy hero, who's just right for Ms. Independence, Lucky. With a cast of wonderful characters, several story lines that'll keep you turning the pages quickly, Ms. Sala ties up the Cradle Creek, TN trilogy. LUCKY is a wonderful finale-not to be missed. If you didn't catch the other stories-QUEEN and DIAMOND-you'll definitely want to look them up!
