Publisher's Synopsis
In 1948 San Francisco, one homeless man finds a winning lottery ticket... and loses everything that matters.
Jack Reilly wasn't looking for a miracle- just a warm meal and a dry night.
But when fate throws him a winning ticket and a dame named Violet with eyes full of ruin, he steps into a spiral of luck, lust, and lies that could rewrite his whole life- or end it.
Violet's no angel.
Billy Bronx isn't from the Bronx.
And Conrad Murphy doesn't just run the city- he owns the chessboard.
In a world where love feels like a set-up and luck never comes clean, only one can walk away with the money.
A novella soaked in neon, betrayal, and blood-
Friends Ain't Easy (Until They're Lovers) is Roman Blac's rawest work yet, where the bullets are metaphors, the dames are dangerous, and luck is the cruelest kind of lover.
