Miss Fortune

Fortune favors the broken.

Eden Sinclair is a hobby novelist barely keeping it together, and she’s tired of pretending otherwise. She’s spent years outrunning her past, but the cracks are getting harder to ignore.

Nathan Ward is a surveillance agent whose only two priorities are catching the nation’s most notorious, and making sure his mother doesn’t have to eat dinner alone.

When a premature click puts Eden in Nathan’s path, it feels like nothing short of fate. He can help her in ways no one else can, as long as no one notices how invested he’s becoming.

But the new guy at this week’s meeting could change that…

Reading Miss Fortune early

If you want to read Miss Fortune early, an ARC copy is how it happens: a free advance copy through BookFunnel ahead of release, in exchange for nothing more than your honest opinion once you’ve read it. Reviews are voluntary and they are yours. An honest two-star review from a reader who didn’t get on with the book is worth more to everyone than a five-star one written out of politeness.
