Lady Luck
Stapled Magnolias #1
Available in eBook, Paperback, and on Kindle Unlimited
Spending her days as a resort maid and nights as a casino entertainer, Bree Faust yearns for change no matter which role she plays.
With her adult life barely started at twenty-two, Bree feels stuck in her legacy role as Lady Luck. Between her demanding, gambling grandmother and deep betrayals she never expected, Bree wonders if the love and loyalty she gives freely will ever be returned… or if a life beyond the walls of Fortuna Casino & Resort is even possible for her.
Enter Vinh Lott, a quiet stranger with a fierce protective streak and a heart scarred by fire.
Taking time off work to travel to the Mississippi Gulf Coast to help his struggling family at their new restaurant, Vinh expects his heart to race in panic when he finally enters a restaurant kitchen again. What he doesn’t expect is the desire to throw out every life plan he’s ever made after meeting her.
But one night at the casino where he offers her his hand—and his jacket—is all it takes to set Vinh on a new path. One that he hopes Bree will walk with him.
Bree’s journey of self-discovery and healing unfolds alongside her slow-burn love story with Vinh, all against the glittering backdrop of neon lights reflected on Gulf Coast waters.
Lane O’Neil’s debut novel is more than a romance: it’s a journey through abandonment, trust, and self-discovery. With heartwarming moments, an action=packed climax, and scorching-hot scenes, Lady Luck is a passionate read with laugh-out-loud moments that will make you believe in the magic of love, even in the eye of the storm.

Wow. One of the best debut novels I have ever read, I would even go as far as to say this is in my top 5 favorite books of all time. Beautifullly written slow burn romance that will have you giggling and kicking your feet the entire time. The relationship between the FMC and MMC is so comforting and beautiful. They were extremely relatable as characters and I enjoyed every minute of this.

The connection between Bree and Vinh is oh so good. It felt like they really brought out the best in each other. They helped each other grow and open up in their own ways. He definitely falls first, while she is reluctant to get burned again. It’s such a sweet romance that had me swooning and giggling at so many great sweet moments. Love Bree and Vinh… and Liem and Cody and the Lott parents.
