As Luck Would Have It (The Aces Book 1) by Dria Andersen

This book is a premium first copy, similar to the original but not the original.

As Luck Would Have It follows a contemporary sports romance centered around a rising hockey/athlete-driven world (The Aces series).

The story focuses on a heroine whose life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with a famous or highly competitive athlete hero connected to the Aces team. What begins as chance encounters quickly turns into something deeper as:

• she is pulled into his high-pressure, public-facing sports life
• their connection grows despite emotional walls and past wounds
• fame, expectations, and personal insecurities threaten the relationship
• both characters must decide whether love is worth the risk of exposure and heartbreak

It’s built around classic romance beats:

• forced proximity / chance meeting
• slow-burn attraction
• sports romance tension
• emotional vulnerability vs. ambition
• found connection in unexpected circumstances
