LUCKY With the sensual grace of a panther, Lucky Santangelo prowled her Las Vegas casino, restless, ready, eager for action. That night began a dazzling odyssey, filled with dangerous passion and sun-drenched sex, sadistic vengeance and breathless suspense. From the decadent luxury of California, to Paris, New York and a private Greek island, Lucky fought for her father's honor, for ruthless triumph, for the wild card of a fabulous love. Her rivals; an ice-cold Hollywood wife... a much-married heiress strung out on cocaine... a jaded magnate hooked on power...a crazed hoodlum lusting for murder.

When one of Lucky Santangelo's family is gunned down, her fury knows no bounds. While tracking the killer, her relationship with her husband is put to the test, especially when a man from her past comes back into her life. A man with a dangerous kiss.
All four parts of the serial novel LA Connections, set in Hollywood, are here, Power - it's not who you know, it's what you know; Obsession - it takes more than ambition to make it; Murder - there are some secrets worth killing for; and Revenge - living the high life can cost too much.
Features Lucky Santangelo from "Chances", "Lucky" and "Lady Boss". In "Lady Boss", Lucky bought Panther Studios. Here, her studios are taken from her by Dona Landsman - the scheming widow of the Santangelo's arch enemy, Santino Bonnati. And now Lucky - never a girl to give up - is out for revenge.
Gino Santangelo - a boy from the New York slums - carves himself out a crime empire that takes him all the way to the top. His daughter, Lucky, proves herself to be as deadly as her father. Sensual and provocative, she is too much like him not to make a bid for his empire.
Lucky Santangelo - she's ruthless, wild and dangerous. In 'Chances' she showed how deadly a woman can be. In 'Lucky' she showed what she had to do to win - 100% of the time. Now she's reaching for the ultimate prize - control over a major Hollywood studio.
