And one of the big-name players in a huge poker tournament ends up dead.
Are the two deaths related?

Her former lover, Teddie, comes back from his rock tour to deliver a bombshell.
Then life deals another major complication to her personal life...and it's not going to be pretty.

AN INTERVIEW WITH DEBORAH COONTS
Why did you decide to write humor?
I'm not sure I decided to add snark to the Lucky, books, specifically to Lucky's own voice, it just happened that way. When I was a kid, my mouth always got me into trouble. Finally, I've found a way to harness the sarcasm for the Forces of Good--or at least in a way not to anger my grandmother. And when Lucky started talking to me, she had a strong dose of sass in her.
The Lucky O'Toole Vegas Adventure series is hard to categorize. Is that by design?
When I set out to write
Wanna Get Lucky?
, I knew I wanted to write a romp through Las Vegas. I had the characters and the setting but no real understanding of narrative drive. So, I threw a young woman out of a tour helicopter into the middle of the Pirate Show and let the story unfold. A bit of murder to keep the plot moving, some wisecracking and Vegas mischief to make you laugh, and some romance to keep it interesting. A bit of a mash up, but it works.
PRAISE FOR
Lucky Bastard
"If you're entertained by sex, innuendo and a few fantasies you'd like to see played out--and who isn't?--
you ought to have Lucky and her extended Vegas family (
So Damn Lucky
, 2012, etc.) on speed dial
