She’s learning to take chances. He’s learning he’s worth one. Together, they might just rewrite the odds.

Aspiring screenwriter Lucy Anderson doesn’t do risks—her anxiety has made sure of that. But when her boyfriend dumps her and she’s left with nothing but a non-refundable trip to Las Vegas, she decides it’s time to rewrite the script of her life, starting with winning him back.

But scripts don’t account for spilled drinks and impulsive kisses—or for Julian Flores. Tattooed, quietly perceptive, and carrying his own reasons to keep the world at arm’s length, Julian can’t believe he could actually have something real. But there’s something about Lucy…

Their connection is supposed to be temporary: one day. No expectations. No complications.

Except Vegas has a way of upping the stakes, and when one day starts to feel like forever, Lucy has to decide: play it safe, or risk it all on the bet of a lifetime?

Warm, witty, and brimming with off-the-charts chemistry, What Are the Chances? is a sun-drenched romcom about choosing yourself, and the moments that change everything.
