Lucky: Jackie Collins

Chances was Gino Santangelo's story - tough, the street-wise kid who became one of America's wealthiest, influential and powerful men. His beautiful daughter is Lucky, his business partner and best friend and she needs just as much power as her father - to her, power means to ability to rule an empire or a man's heart on her terms. When Gino meets sophisticated widow Susan Martino, he has no time for Lucky or his business any more. Rejected, Lucky seeks solace with billionaire Dimitri Stanislopoulos. His daughter, Olympia was once Lucky's best friend - now they're deadly rival, and not just over the massive Stanislopoulos fortune. Lenny Golden, charismatic stand-up comedian and first-nighter at Lucky's fabulous casion-hotel, the Marigirano may well prove to be Lucky's wild card.
