Too Lucky to Live - Somebody's Bound to Wind Up Dead, Bk 1 Author:Annie Hogsett Lonely and broke, Cleveland divorce-survivor Allie Harper believes all her problems would be solved if she could find a nice, smart, hot guy and enough money to get her car fixed. — The hot guy arrives first: he's in a crosswalk clutching a bag of groceries while a blonde in a Hummer is learning hard on her horn, sending the man's g... more »roceries and white cane flying. How has this woman missed that fact that the man is blind? From the curb, an outraged Allie jumps to his rescue, rebagging the groceries as well. The money is in the bag. Literally- Thomas Bennington III, for that's who the handsome guy proves to be, has bought a MondoMegaJackpot ticket along with canned tomatoes. Allie takes him home and turns his groceries into dinner for two. Later that night, Tom hears the numbers announced. He's won. And he's less than thrilled. PhD Tom had gambled on the odds of losing (175 million to one) to prove a point to Rune, a kid from the projects he's befriended, that only losers buy lottery tickets. Instead, Rune, who'd helped pick the Mondo numbers, will share Tom's jackpot. Allie and Tom grasp two things: one, they're hot for each other, and two, the ticket is a hot target, and now so are they. Every scheming weasel in Cleveland will be after Tom's millions. $550 of them.
Yes, once the Mondo ball drops, it's game on with killers and kidnappers as players. From the moment the kissing starts and the Mondo Ball drops, SOMEBODY'S BOUND TO WIND UP DEAD is all about the money, the murders, the kidnapping, and, yeah, the hot sex. On the run from one fancy hotel to another and from one threatening confrontation to the next, with only Allie's landlady, Margo, and, maybe, a couple of Cleveland cops for back-up, Allie and Tom take charge. Allie, lovable scatterbrain, and Tom, selfcontained professor, must evolve into a clever, capable team, tough and resourceful enough to survive. Until Tuesday night, Allie believed all her problems would be solved if she could find a nice, smart, hot guy and enough money to get her car fixed. Now she's hoping they'll live happily ever after...at least until the end of the week.
