Welcome

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of LUCKY BREAK by author Ella Synclair!

Eden Stuart is not having the Vegas weekend she planned. At forty, she has built a life she loves — a thriving writing career, fierce independence, and the freedom to answer to no one. But when a girls' trip goes sideways and a broken foot lands her in a Vegas emergency room, she comes face to face with the last person she expected: Luke Kostoros, the college friend who disappeared from her life twenty years ago without a word.

The boy she once knew has become someone impossible to ignore — and with Eden temporarily unable to walk away, Luke finally has the second chance he never thought he'd get.

Sparkling with wit, sizzling with heat, and bursting with heart, Lucky Break is a romantic comedy for everyone who believes the best love stories happen when you least expect them — and that forty is just getting started.

Pre-orders open June 16th — the book hits shelves July 28th.
