Fortune Flip

"Deeply romantic, real, funny, and heartfelt." --Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners

A stroke of luck.

Hazel Yen would love to be that person who doesn't believe in bad luck. But having lost her job, her mom, her optimism, and even her dim-sum leftovers, she's sitting in a fortune teller's booth, desperate for a sign--any sign--that her luck might change. Which is when fate crashes into her, disguised as Logan Wells and his utterly chaotic cat. Except after one spontaneous and mind-melting kiss, Hazel's terrible misfortune starts taking a turn for the miraculous. Money problems vanish. A new job lands in her lap. And she's crushing--hard--on the guy who started it all.

Only there's a problem: Logan's luck has taken a turn for the worse. A shared lottery ticket could be just the answer they're seeking or a disaster waiting to happen. Has Hazel's fortune truly changed? And if so, could winning at life mean losing at love?
