If you could pick how good luck would strike, when would you choose to get lucky?

In a world where luck is finite and spendable, Neve knows exactly how she wants to spend her luck: on getting that promotion, on extending her lease, on finding love, on just catching the subway for once.

Too bad she already spent hers. All of it. She literally can’t get lucky, ever again.

Then she meets Bennett.

As fate keeps throwing them together in increasingly disastrous meet-cutes, Neve becomes certain that this perfect man, just out of reach, is the latest symptom of her catastrophic bad luck. Convinced the only way to find love is to find new luck, Neve seeks out the luckiest man in Manhattan—who might be able to change her fate.

Caught between the man who could fix her and the one who might be the one, Neve must decide whether to bet on luck… or take a chance on love.

When grit isn't enough, Neve discovers a group of shadowy elites fixing the odds and sets out on a chaotic quest through New York to rig the game herself. But her mission is complicated by a swoon-worthy dilemma: she’s torn between Manhattan’s luckiest bachelor, who offers immediate salvation, and a magnetic "Mr. Wrong," whose presence seems to guarantee catastrophe. Caught between an easy fix and a messy reality, Neve must decide if she’s chasing a manufactured fairytale or if the best things in life are the risks you take without a safety net.
