lucky; z. malik

the rules are simple: stay within five feet of him, and the house never wins.

zayn malik doesn't believe in luck he believes in math. however when his billion-dollar algorithm fails, he finds his "statistical anomaly" in lauren sterling - a struggling photographer with her camera and a habit of being in the wrong place at the perfect time.

the deal? he'll save her family from a crumbling scandal and help her career flourish if she stays by his side as his "lucky charm" for the most dangerous two weeks of his career.

it was supposed to be a calculated transaction. no strings, no feelings. just a high-stakes business deal in the heart of sin city. but as the lines between contract and reality began to blur, zayn realizes he's playing a game where the odds are no longer in his favor - and lauren is the only variable he can't afford to lose.
