Read Lucky Charm Storyline:
Ariel's life is uncomplicated - traveling from town to town, installing financial management software, training, and...moving on. Until she gets lost leaving one of the offices and stumbles onto a nightmarish scene - a man being beaten by three others. Rescuing him, she finds more than she ever bargained for - he's gorgeous, intriguing, and he won't explain anything. Why was he being beaten? Does it have something to do with the discrepancies she's finding at the offices where she's working?A steamy, sultry romance Lucky Charm will set your pulse racing with intrigue and romance that packs a satisfying punch.ReviewMs. Douglas has given us a very complex and interesting plot with characters that are smart, witty, wise and well formed. The story moves forward at a brisk pace with enough action and adventure to keep the pages turning while still giving us time to understand the back stories and motives of the protagonists. Her dialogue is realist and reflects the way people interact and go about their daily activities. The romance is believable, as well as fun and warm. We want these two to find their happily ever after. There is enough steam to fog up windows but not so much that the story lacks focus.All in all a very enjoyable read. Karen Bryant DoeringParent's Little Black BookFrom the Inside FlapThe longer she walked down the hallway, though, the more it seemed wrong. The walls were unpainted. Plastic draped unframed doorways. Construction or remodeling. She would have remembered that as a landmark. She didn't. Her heart sank.Think. Work it out logically, she told herself.She couldn't. She couldn't remember the way out of the damn building.Then something caught her attention.A sound. Or rather, sounds.Was that a voice? Voices, definitely. A low rumble, a man's voice, but it was people talking. They didn't sound happy. At this hour, she didn't blame them. A second shift working late maybe? People meant directions, though. Or so she hoped.Relieved, she followed the sound of the voices to a doorway, parted the plastic flaps that covered it...and froze in shock and horror.Four men. Two held a third and not gently...They hadn't seen or heard her, they were too intent on what they were doing.Ariel looked at the third man.He didn't look good, blood stained his mouth, his expression was slack, there was an abrasion on one cheek and he sagged in the arms of the other two as the third man bunched his fist to hit him again.With obvious effort, the battered man braced himself defiantly. He lifted his head and for the briefest of moments their eyes met.Shock shot through her.He had the most amazing eyes. Sea-ice eyes. Eyes of a green so intense it was like the sun shining through an iceberg, as clear as glass, as bottomless as the ocean. Bottle-green eyes. Piercing, intense.He was handsome, his features strong and even, his face a little long, with a high forehead. Thick wavy dark blond hair spilled over it. His mouth was firm, with a split in it where they had hit him. His shoulders were broad, strong.For a moment, he stared at her, dazed, and then those startling eyes registered her presence. They widened in alarm.The other man hit him again.If they kept it up, if they kept hitting him, they were going to kill him.Pages of Lucky Charm :
