As Luck Would Have It: A Novel

After her divorce, Grace Moreau has Tupperware'd her life. Everything neatly contained. Safe. Predictable. And now that her daughters have flown the nest, she has zero interest in stepping outside of it. Unfortunately, her younger sister Romy has other plans.

Whisked away on a surprise trip to Ireland, Grace is forced to let go of control. Her adventure begins at a quaint bed and breakfast, where she meets August Kincaid, a cynically cryptic screenwriter with writer's block and striking blue eyes. He's supposed to be finding romantic inspiration for a script he has no interest in writing, and Grace is supposed to be finding . . . well, she's not quite sure what.

All she knows is that she's not going to find it here . . . but, as luck would have it, the legendary Matchmaking Festival is happening at the exact same time.

As Romy's carefully planned "side quests" send Grace through the lush Irish countryside--from the windswept Cliffs of Moher to the cobblestone streets of Galway--an unlikely friendship blossoms between her and August. Surrounded by ancient castles and rolling green hills, Grace finds her carefully constructed walls starting to crack. She didn't want an intervention, and she certainly wasn't looking for love. But maybe those who know her best knew exactly what she needed.

Forced to live in the moment and not just survive until the next day, Grace discovers a strength she'd forgotten she had and a connection she never expected to find. And she begins to wonder: Can she get back what was stolen? Can she open doors she so purposefully closed?

More importantly, can she take the ultimate leap and risk her heart to the one adventure she swore she'd never do again: fall in love?
