Lucky Santangelo stands in her father's shadow at fifteen, but she refuses to stay there. Gino Santangelo built his empire through violence and control, and he expects his daughter to follow his rules. Lucky has other plans. She breaks free from a rigid Swiss boarding school and embarks on a journey that takes her from a sun-soaked Greek island to the mansions of Bel Air, from a Manhattan penthouse to a crumbling villa in southern France. At every turn, she discovers boys, tastes forbidden love, and learns what it means to forge her own path. Gino tries to rein her in, but Lucky fights back with everything she has. She knows what she wants and nothing will stop her from taking it. This is the story of how a rebellious teenager becomes the powerful woman who will one day rule her own empire.
