Lucky Santangelo is back with a vengeance—still every bit as strong, sexy, and seductive as ever! But Lucky is older and wiser, and hot to reclaim her power position in Las Vegas.

However, a deadly enemy from her past has resurfaced—a person determined to take everything from her, including the family she holds so dear: two sons and an out-of-control teenage daughter who is just as outrageous as Lucky herself. Like mother, like daughter. And if that old saying holds true, it's going to be one wild ride.

From Miami to Beverly Hills, from Mexico City, Acapulco, and Las Vegas, the stakes are high and the drama is intense. As Lucky prepares for the opening of her new multi-billion dollar hotel complex, she must face off against Anthony Bonar—drug lord and vicious killer—who is out to stop her in any way he can.

Meanwhile, Max, Lucky's wild 16-year-old daughter, has run off to hook up with a man she met on the Internet. Instead of the gorgeous guy she thought she'd be meeting, he turns out to be an obsessed rich psycho with a deep-seated grudge against Lucky. And so the lethal games begin...

Chances is the book that made Jackie Collins one of America’s favorite authors. It sweeps you from the sophisticated playgrounds of Europe to the glittering gambling palaces of Las Vegas. It plunges you into the reckless, dangerous world of the Santangelo crime family.

Meet Gino Santangelo, the street kid who makes it all the way to the top. And then, enter Lucky—his sensual, stunningly beautiful, and passionate daughter; a woman who dares to win her father’s empire for herself. She is a woman unafraid of taking… CHANCES.
