While other ten year-olds were marrying their Barbie to their Ken dolls, Monica had her Barbie cruising in her pink corvette with loads of great things in the car and not a Ken in sight. From that age until now, after Monica saw the heartache her mother endured when her father walked out, Monica always told herself that she didn’t need a man to complete her. Fast forward to the present and Monica has lived up to her goal. She is a successful executive at an advertising firm, making serious money and living the life that she always wanted. She credits all her success to having stayed “man-free” but all of that changes after one Friday night. That’s when Marshawn comes into her life. Now, everything she has fought so hard to avoid most of her life will be the very thing she fights so hard to keep. Kamryn Donavan is a native of Lake Charles, Louisiana. She now resides in Los Angeles, California with her two sons. GETTING LUCKY is Kamryn's first novel.

The Macon Street Apartments isn’t your typical residence and its residents are far from your run-of-the-mill neighbors. Peaches doesn’t care to know a man's name, she only wants to know the size of his wallet. And for the right price, this stripper has no problems taking Mr. Moneybags home for a private show. Romello is a hustler in love, but even after nine years and three kids with his girlfriend Jewel, he’s having commitment issues, and refuses to be tied down. “There are far too many available and willing women in the world.” And right now, there's no woman he wants more than Peaches, and he’s determined to get her without paying the cost. Craig is a handsome and successful businessman who gives his wife, Alisha, the world. If he could just avoid getting trapped by her obsession with having a baby, their marriage would be close to perfection. Alisha is trying to hang on to her husband and can’t figure out why he refuses to have a baby; if she could only change his mind. The only complication in this perfect marriage is her mettlesome friend Ladona, who unknown to Alisha, is hell bent on luring Craig away for herself. And just when it seems like life at Macon Street Apartments couldn't have any more drama, the summer soon heats up when sexy and mysterious "Lucky" Thompson moves in. It doesn't take long for the other residents to find out they don't call himlucky for nothing.
