The Love Lottery

By Stephanie Shar

One winning lottery ticket. Two rightful owners. Zero chance of staying away from each other.

Struggling Millennial Charlotte Kessler has spent the last year watching her carefully planned life fall apart. After losing her dream job, surviving a painful breakup, and facing the possibility of losing her home, the last thing she needs is more chaos.

Then she finds a winning lottery ticket.

There's just one problem.

Max Dalton-the stubborn, sarcastic Gen X bartender at The Lakeside Tap-swears it's his.

With $1.5 million on the line and the town of Little Lake taking sides, the pair are forced into each other's orbit until a judge can sort out who actually owns the ticket. The longer they're stuck together, the harder it becomes to ignore the chemistry simmering beneath their constant arguments.

But Charlotte isn't looking for another relationship.

And Max has enough reasons to keep his heart guarded.

Sometimes the biggest risk isn't losing the money.

It's letting someone in again.

The Love Lottery is a cozy, closed-door romantic comedy featuring:
