Sometimes the universe has jokes.
Like a woman named Lucky Fortune who has lived her whole life plagued by one mishap and misfortune after another. The catastrophes that regularly derail her life would crush a normal person, but Lucky is stubbornly resilient.
The single constant in her life is the rustic and rundown ski lodge her grandparents built in a small, picturesque Colorado town. And now it belongs to her.
Lucky refuses to let her unending run of bad luck ruin the opportunity to build on her grandparents’ dream and carve out one of her own.
But forces greater than chance are out to sabotage her new life. They’re after the lodge, the land, and they want Lucky out of the way by any means necessary. Danger lurks closer than Lucky knows.
Fortunately, she’s found herself lucky in love for the first time ever, thanks to the secretive drifter she picked up and brought home on a whim. By day, he plays the role of the worst handyman in existence. But when the stakes are raised, and Lucky’s life is on the line, he’ll move mountains to keep her and her legacy out of the wrong hands.

Excerpt:
I dropped my hand and let my forehead hit the window. The glass was cool, but it did nothing to temper the fiery anger still surging through my blood from dealing with the sheriff.
“I ran into a bit of bad—”
“Luck.”
I blinked in surprise when Risky finished my sentence for me. I saw him smirk out of the corner of my eye.
“I’ve noticed that’s your default explanation for everything that goes wrong. Big or small. It’s nothing more than luck. Somehow, the power going out and someone taking a shot at you are equally unlucky.” He turned his head slightly to give me a pensive look. “I think your perception might be off.”
I laughed for real this time and held up my hand and started ticking things off on my fingers. “I was born to parents who act like they’re on perpetual spring break. The first time my grandpa tried to teach me to ride a bike, I broke my arm. On my first day of school, I got attacked by a loose dog and ended up needing twenty stitches. The first time I went camping, I fell into a patch of poison oak and nearly died from an allergic reaction. I got lost in a blizzard when I was ten and had the state’s search and rescue teams out looking for me. I thought it would be fun to join a sport in middle school. I played one game of soccer and left the game with a broken nose. I got this truck for my birthday when I was sixteen. Thank God my granddad knew I needed a tank because the first time I drove it without him supervising from the passenger seat, I ended up in a multi-car pileup on the pass. And don’t get me started on my love life.” Because that was where things had really turned into a train wreck. The situation with Baker had been enough to turn me off of dating for the rest of my life.
“But I want to ask about your love life. I’m curious if there’s anyone you can think of who might want to take a shot at you.”
I frowned and shifted on the hard seat uncomfortably. “You don’t think it was a wayward hunter?”
He gave me a look that indicated I shouldn’t ask dumb questions that I already knew the answer to.
“I only have one ex capable of hurting someone. But his target was never me. It was himself.” I shuddered as memories of the bloody night broke free from the chains I’d kept wrapped around them. “He’s no longer a threat to anyone. He died.”
