*Featuring a new, intimate introduction from the wonderful Jessie Burton talking about what Jackie and her books mean to her! Discover the empowerment, sex, scandal and glamour of Lucky, a book ‘so hot it will have to be printed on asbestos’, from the insatiable number one bestseller Jackie Collins.*
In the world of the rich, love and power are just games to play – and Lucky Santangelo is determined to win . . .
Lucky is a woman with the strength and determination to accomplish anything. A shrewd businesswoman in a world of demanding old men and petty women, Lucky rules with an iron grip - when she wants something, she gets it, no matter who she is up against. But she's not the only player and this game certainly isn't fair . . .
There's Lennie Golden, a comic struggling to make it, who has been spurned by love before,
Olympia Stanislopoulos, an oft-married heiress with a penchant for cocaine,
Dmitri Stanislopoulos, a rich man used to getting his way, and
Santino Bonatti, a man determined to get revenge on the Santangelos no matter the cost.
As their lives become entwined and the stakes grow higher and higher, the thirst for revenge is never far away. It will take all the backbone Lucky possesses to reach the climax that she deserves - and come out on top . . .
Why everyone needs Jackie in their lives . . .

Jackie Collins has been called a “raunchy moralist” by the director Louis Malle and “Hollywood’s own Marcel Proust” by Vanity Fair. With over 500 million copies of her books sold in more than forty countries, and with thirty-two New York Times bestsellers to her credit, she is one of the world’s top-selling novelists. Six of her novels have been adapted for film or TV. Collins was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) by the Queen of England in 2013 for her services to literature and charity. When accepting the honor she said to the Queen, “Not bad for a school drop-out”—a revelation capturing her belief that both passion and determination can lead to big dreams coming true. She lived in Beverly Hills where she had a front-row seat to the lives she so accurately captured in her compulsive plotlines. She was a creative force, a trailblazer for women in fiction, and in her own words “a kick-ass writer!” Her fascinating life as a writer and icon is explored in the CNN Films and Netflix documentary Lady Boss: The Jackie Collins Story.
