When Veronica Chance buried her young husband in Kentucky near the racetrack he loved, she moved to Chicago to start over. She landed a dream job as a teen librarian, and then to top it off, she met Shaun Hailey, a man as opposite her husband as black is to white.

Lakeview in Chicago was a world away from the South Side, but it took Shaun no time to get used to life with Veronica. Easy and fun, no stress with an intelligent and passionate--and loving--woman. But before Sean can remind himself that no one ever wins the lottery, he's heading for a half-empty race track looking for Veronica's dead husband. Who might not be so dead after all.
