When she is thrust into the middle of a war between two very different species vampire and werewolf she thinks life can't get any worse. Then she meets Finn, a black-haired, silver-eyed hottie that brings forward the secrets of her rocky past and unlocks the key to her future. But when Allarose is pulled deeper and deeper into the world she thought only existed in books, can she survive the battle that rages between Fire and Ice?

If love is in the cards, then somebody stacked the deck. Los Angeles radio DJ Beryl “Berry” Lambert, whose name means luck, doesn’t much believe in it—although, thanks to her dear old gambling dad, she’s a bit superstitious, certain that everything happens for a reason. She keeps a four-leaf clover in her wallet, never takes off her horseshoe necklace, and won’t tempt fate by walking under a ladder or opening an umbrella indoors. Ever. When it comes to love, though, she could use a little luck. Two disastrous relationships back-to-back can mean only one thing to a woman who knows that everything good or bad happens in threes: A third Mr. Wrong is imminent.

Caprice Crane’s witty, winsome novel about the game of modern romance proves that with a little luck and the right stakes, everybody wins.
