Book ID/图书代码: 12775010B40813

English Summary/英文概要: Lucy Parker wins the lottery on the worst day of her life. But can all the money in the world make up for a cheating boyfriend, a derailed career, and ending up in the middle of a media circus? Everyone wants a piece of Lucy…and all she wants is to escape from it all.

After life as she knows it falls apart, Lucy heads off to Palm Beach to hide out at the home of an old college friend. There, living in a tropical paradise of millionaires, Lucy acquires a new hair color, a new social set, and enough anonymity to put her notoriety behind her. Soon she’s courted by two men who don’t know her history. But just as Lucy begins to envision a new life for herself, the past catches up with her. Lucy would give up every penny to have her old life back—but just as she’s ready to cash it all in, fate has one last surprise in store for her…one that will show her exactly what she’s worth.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: Lucy Parker在人生中最倒霉的一天里赢了彩票。但是金钱可以弥补出轨的男友、失败的工作经历、最终流落到马戏团的悲惨经历吗?人人都想成为Lucy......但Lucy自己却想能逃开这一切。
在人生经历这一切苦难之后,Lucy去棕榈滩找到大学同窗以逃开烦扰的世事。那里可是百万富翁的热带天堂,Lucy换了发色,穿上适合社交的行头,化上足以掩盖她狼藉的声名的妆容。很快她被两个不了解她过去的男人打上了。就在Lucy才开始想象自己的新生活时,过往的一切又阴魂不散的重新缠上她。Lucy愿意放弃一切来挽回逝去的时光,但是就在她即将孤注一掷的时候,命运又跟她开了一玩笑——这个玩笑让她足以看清自己的价值究竟在哪里。(兼职翻译-LN)
