A woman discovers the downside of good luck and the false promise of one little lottery ticket in this stunning novel from #1 national bestselling author ReShonda Tate Billingsley.

When Nina Lawson wins $16 million in the Texas Lotto, the Houston real estate executive and her fianc , sexy personal trainer Rick Henderson, ecstatically begin planning their future from paying off their credit cards, to setting their wedding date, to a spontaneous, spare-no-expense island getaway.

But Nina didn t count on a second astounding twist of fate to befall her: her ex-husband, Todd Lawson, apparently isn t her ex anything due to a paperwork mix-up. Now Todd claims he s entitled to half her cash . . . and a string of Nina s long-lost relatives are turning up for handouts, too. Living the dream is fast becoming a nightmare, and before it s too late, Nina must take stock of her many blessings, not her bank account or risk losing everything she values.
