Some Lucky Woman

After fifteen years of marriage, Jana Embers discovers her husband has been cheating—and gotten another woman pregnant. Naturally, she handles the news like any reasonable woman would: with a tire iron and a very expensive lesson in automotive bodywork.

Now thirty-four, newly single, and wondering how she's supposed to support herself after spending her adult life taking care of everyone else, Jana has two choices: fall apart or start over. She's already tried falling apart. Time for Plan B.

With a teenage son, a wisecracking cousin, and a rescued cat named J'Austen, Jana sets out to rebuild her life. What begins as a book-review blog soon becomes something she never imagined—a writing career, newfound confidence, and a future that belongs entirely to her. But just when Jana thinks she's figured out how to live without a man, love comes knocking again. And this time, she's not about to surrender everything she's worked so hard to become.

Between an unexpected romance, a few painful secrets, and a Hollywood opportunity that could change her life forever, Jana discovers that finding happiness isn't about getting lucky. It's about knowing what you're worth.

Funny, heartfelt, and unapologetically honest, Some Lucky Woman is a story of second chances, unexpected love, and one woman's determination to write her own happily-ever-after. Because sometimes the best love story begins when a woman learns to love herself.

WARNING: Although there are many adult situations in this novel, if, say, something crazy happened and a famous producer adapted this contemporary women's fiction into a movie, it would have a PG-13 rating. There are no erotic scenes, no graphic violence, and while there are a few allowed-on-TV curse words, there aren't a plethora of gratuitous foul words. Oh, and if you were looking for a cliffhanger, you won't find that here either. Some Lucky Woman includes all three parts of Jana's story. Please proceed at your own risk.
