More Than Luck Required: A Journey of Healing, Hope, and Love

Maxy Awards 2025 Winner: Romance & Women's Fiction

"Morgan's writing is clean and crisp, catching her readers unprepared for the emotional roller coaster of finding love again, only to ponder the risk of heartbreak." -Barbara Conrey, USA Today's best-selling author of Nowhere Near Goodbye

If Lora Hamilton was ever going to live a normal life and love again, she will have to follow through on her father's dying request to put her tragic past behind her. For four years, Lora used work to isolate herself from others, to hide the guilt and shame she's carried. Now she's trapped in a lonely, meaningless life.

Though it feels like an impossible task, Lora heads to the Pacific Northwest beach of her childhood to create a plan for moving forward. There she meets a closed-hearted widower and an artistically talented teen from a troubled family. Though both capture her heart, Lora returns home, knowing she must face the events of her past in order to heal and change how she lives her life. After all, luck alone most likely won't provide the second chance she hopes for.
