Lucinda (Lucky) is working at the strip club run by the Harringtons, trying to make it through school. She doesn't have time for games, or for Carter Harrington and his arrogance. But when a late pickup and an offer of a ride home turns into Carter rescuing her from her boyfriend's anger, she moves in with him, and starts seeing him in a different light.

I enjoyed this so much. Carter was full of himself, but not too full and he wasn't a man who needed to manipulate to get what he wanted, which I loved. He simply gives Lucky what she wants, when she wants it, and he did it so quietly, so calmly, so smoothly. He was waiting for the chance to show her who he really was. I loved that. He was in a position to give and he gave. And he was very honest about his feelings, and also about his feelings changing. Loved that. Lucky was a great character--smart, and self-aware. She was wary of Carter for good reason, but she knew when to let her guard down and it turned into the best thing for the both of them. She was forthright and stood up for herself when it came to her confusion about Carter falling deeper; I was begging her not to go right along with him. Lol. Great story.
