Lucky Me — Michele Bardsley

You can fall apart ... or you can fall in love. Ellie Johnson is picking up the pieces of her life and attempting to fit them together into something a helluva lot better. She lives in Las Vegas, the golden land of second (third, fourth) chances, after all, so it should be easy. Hah. Luckily, there's Doug, who is second chance personified. Doug is her ex-boyfriend -- the one who got away (by running like his ass was on fire). Doug is now a cop, and he's older, wiser, and hotter. He has the same yummy muscles and melting chocolate-brown eyes she remembers from their college days. And he's made it abundantly clear he'd like to take up with Ellie where they left off more than fifteen years ago. Doug has no intention of running this time--unless it's to catch Ellie and show her that second-chance love is worth putting her heart on the line.
