Lucky #14 by Alina May (Paperback)

A dark survival romance set on a deadly island where a twisted game forces strangers into a fight for their lives. With shifting alliances, psychological pressure, and escalating violence, survival depends on instinct, strategy, and trust that no one can afford to give.

Holli wakes on an isolated island with no clear way out and no explanation for why she has been taken. Surrounded by thirty others, she quickly realises the rules are simple and brutal: only one outcome is expected, and everyone is a potential threat. Once overlooked in her everyday life, she now becomes a target in a system designed to erase her completely. Refusing to disappear, she pushes back with relentless determination, willing to do whatever it takes to survive.

Oakley is equally disoriented, thrown into a violent situation he never agreed to. Expecting confusion and fear to be temporary, he instead finds himself entangled in a dangerous environment where survival means navigating unstable alliances and unpredictable behaviour. As he attempts to protect himself and others, he is drawn into a volatile dynamic with Holli, whose refusal to trust him creates constant conflict in an already deadly setting.

Wyatt oversees the structure of the island’s brutal system, but something about the game is no longer functioning as intended. Unexpected participants disrupt the balance, forcing him to question control, order, and the integrity of the system he helped build. As uncertainty spreads, the game begins to unravel in ways no one can fully understand.

With shifting perspectives and rising tension, the lines between hunter and player blur. Every decision carries consequences, and the truth behind the island remains buried beneath layers of manipulation and control.

Perfect for readers who enjoy dark romance, survival games, psychological thrillers, enemies-to-lovers tension, why-choose romance, forced proximity, and high-stakes contemporary fiction.
