You know her (and if you don’t, you need to), we all love her, our home town gem Denise Williams is back with another swoon-worthy romance, Just Our Luck. Celebrate the release of Denise’s newest love story this March, eat some donuts, test your luck, and hear a can’t miss conversation between Denise and her friend, Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author of titles like The Love Hypothesis andĀ Not in Love.

Both Denise and Ali will be available for pictures at the end of the event! All books will be signed in advance by Denise and Ali.

If you’ve already pre-ordered a copy of “Just Our Luck,” you will need to purchase a General Admission ticket for entry to the event.

About Just Our Luck: Sybil Sweet hasĀ always been lucky, but lately she canā€™t catch a break. After years of bouncing from job to job in search of something that feels right and from man to man in search of something special, Sybil is worried that sheā€™s the directionless, floundering daughter her family thinks she is. All she really wants now is a little financial stability and carb comfort. Lucky for her, sheā€™s got just enough in the bank to buy a lottery ticket, and the late-night donut store is open.

Kieran Anderson put his dreams of becoming a doctor on hold to take over running his familyā€™s bakery, and after fighting a losing battle to save the place, heā€™s exhausted, broke, and no closer to getting back to school. But when a whirlwind of a woman sweeps in late one night, flirty energy gives way to moreā€¦until she runs out the next morning, leaving behind her winning lottery ticket.

Lucky for Kieran, his attempt to return the ticket looks like a grand romantic gesture and goes viral, sending sales through the roof. In an effort to keep the store afloat and to convince Sybilā€™s family she can make good relationship choices, they agree to fake a relationship for three months. Even with hundreds of millions of dollars, finding each other might end up being the sweetest bit of luck for both of them.

Denise WilliamsĀ wrote her first book in the 2nd grade.Ā I Hate YouĀ and its sequel,Ā I Still Hate You,Ā featured a tough, funny heroine, a quirky hero, witty banter, and a dragon. Minus the dragons, these are still the books she likes to write. After penning those early works, she finished second grade and eventually earned a PhD in education. When she’s not writing, reading, and thinking about love stories, she spends herĀ days working inĀ university administration. After growing up a military brat around the world and across the country, Denise now lives in Des Moines, Iowa with her husband, son, and a dog soĀ quirky, she really needs to end up in a book.

Ali Hazelwood is the #1Ā New York TimesĀ bestselling author ofĀ Love, TheoreticallyĀ andĀ The Love Hypothesis, as well as a writer of peer-reviewed articles about brain science, in which no one makes out and the ever after is not always happy. Originally from Italy, she lived in Germany and Japan before moving to the US to pursue a PhD in neuroscience. When Ali is not at work, she can be found running, eating cake pops, or watching sci-fi movies with her three feline overlords (and her slightly-less-feline husband).
