Lucky
by Collins, Jackie
Lucky Santangelo is the daughter of a notorious mob boss, and she is far more dangerous than anyone gives her credit for. This is a sprawling, high-octane look at a woman fighting to carve out her own empire in a world run by men who underestimate her at their own peril. The pacing is relentless, moving from the gritty streets of New York to the sun-drenched, shallow glamour of the Mediterranean and Los Angeles. You are not reading this for subtle character studies; you are reading it for the sheer audacity of the plot, the constant threat of betrayal, and the unapologetic ambition of its lead. If you want a story where the stakes are always life-or-death and the fashion is as lethal as the secrets, Lucky is your next obsession.
