**A U.S. Marine's brush with death leads him to the love of his life in
this New York Times bestseller of destiny, luck, and the redemptive
power of romance.
**After U.S. Marine Logan Thibault finds a photograph of a smiling young
woman buried in the dirt during his tour of duty in Iraq, he experiences
a sudden streak of luck -- winning poker games and even surviving deadly
combat. Only his best friend, Victor, seems to have an explanation for
his good fortune: the photograph -- his lucky charm.
Back home in Colorado, Thibault can't seem to get the woman in the
photograph out of his mind and he sets out on a journey across the
country to find her. But Thibault is caught off guard by the strong
attraction he feels for the woman he encounters in North Carolina -
Elizabeth, a divorced mother -- and he keeps the story of the photo, and
his luck, a secret. As he and Elizabeth embark upon a passionate love
affair, his secret soon threatens to tear them apart -- destroying not
only their love, but also their lives.
Filled with tender romance and terrific suspense, THE LUCKY ONE is an
unforgettable story about the surprising paths our lives often take and
the power of fate to guide us to true and everlasting love.
