Mallory Pech believes she's cursed. After all, injuries, accidents, and misunderstandings are the only constants in her life. Her best friend, Benji Chance, disagrees. He insists that Mallory's fortune is up to no one and nothing but her. Taking his advice, Mallory decides to pursue her dream man, the wealthy and debonair Jean-Luc Chevalier. As son of the CEO, Jean-Luc will be visiting her NY office on a special trip from Paris. He's never noticed Mallory on his previous twelve visits, but maybe the thirteenth time's the charm. Not everything goes according to plan, however. Mallory's attempts at charming and alluring end in twisted ankles, house fires, and misspelled tattoos yet somehow only draw Jean-Luc closer. When these mishaps lead to a marriage proposal, Mallory believes her luck's finally changing and ignores Benji's warnings and increasing desperation. Fixated on her dream guy, she fails to notice that her friend is heartbroken and hiding his true feelings. By marrying Jean-Luc, Mallory could have everything she's always wanted: financial security, family, and a flat in France. But as she begins to navigate a world of secrets, lies, and culture shock, she fears her fairytale engagement to Jean-Luc may cost her the one thing money can't buy-the one person who's loved her all along. And losing Benji would be her worst luck yet.
