JUST OUR LUCK

Denise Williams

A Novel

A lottery ticket + donuts = love in this steamy new fake dating romance from beloved author Denise Williams.
Sybil Sweet has always been lucky, but lately she can't catch a break. After years of bouncing from job to job in search of something that feels right and from man to man in search of something special, Sybil is worried that she's the directionless, floundering daughter her family thinks she is. All she really wants now is a little financial stability and carb comfort. Lucky for her, she's got just enough in the bank to buy a lottery ticket, and the late-night donut store is open.

Kiran Anderson put his dreams of becoming a doctor on hold to take over running his family's bakery, and after fighting a losing battle to save the place, he's exhausted, broke, and no closer to getting back to school. But when a whirlwind of a woman sweeps in late one night, flirty energy gives way to more.until she runs out the next morning, leaving behind her winning lottery ticket.

Lucky for Kiran, his attempt to return the ticket looks like a grand romantic gesture and goes viral, sending sales through the roof. In an effort to keep the store afloat and to convince Sybil's family she can make good relationship choices, they agree to fake a relationship for three months. Even with hundreds of millions of dollars, finding each other might end up being the sweetest bit of luck for both of them.

Denise Williams wrote her first book in the 2nd grade. I Hate You and its sequel, I Still Hate You, featured a tough, funny heroine, a quirky hero, witty banter, and a dragon. Minus the dragons, these are still the books she likes to write. After penning those early works, she finished second grade and eventually earned a PhD in education, going on to work in higher education. After growing up a military brat around the world and across the country, Denise now lives in Des Moines, Iowa with her husband, son, and two ornery shih-tzus who think they own the house.

Williams (Technically Yours) charms in this steamy interracial rom-com.

JUST OUR LUCK delivers flirtation, drama and tender moments alike.will leave readers craving more.

JUST OUR LUCK is an opposites attract romcom that's delightful from page one. Sybil and Kieran may have been drawn together by luck and fate, but it's their refreshingly raw vulnerability that makes this pairing truly click. I was completely charmed!

The thing I love most about Denise Williams is that every book she writes is both one-of-a-kind and something special. JUST OUR LUCK is no different, offering a fresh and delightful spin to the fake dating trope with donuts, a winning lottery ticket and a rich cast of side characters (no pun intended). And the icing on top? Williams' signature wit, steam and romance make it impossible not to root for Sybil and Kieran to find their happily-ever-after.

A sexy fake-dating romance with charm, featuring a protagonist navigating the challenges of family expectations and love.

JUST OUR LUCK is everything I love about Denise Williams's books; incredibly smart, fully-realized characters that I'm thrilled to root for, delicious tension, and an abundance of hope. I'm a forever fan.

JUST OUR LUCK is sweet and hot in equal measure, just like the best donuts! I adored Kieran and Sybil, and their scorching hot chemistry and tenderness with one another as they navigated their fake dating journey. I'll read anything Denise Williams writes!

This is one not to be missed.

Williams always writes likable characters who lust wholeheartedly for each other, and this perfectly sweet and spicy novel is no exception.
