With Any Luck by Ashley Poston is a witty, magical, and heartfelt romantic short story that explores the idea of soulmates, timing, and what it means to believe you deserve true love. Audrey Love has always known she’s cursed. Every person she kisses goes on to meet their soulmate soon after—and it’s never her. She’s the girl before “the one,” the relationship people move on from to find forever. Over time, Audrey learns to keep her distance from romance, protecting her heart from yet another disappointment.
Everything changes on the eve of Valentine’s Day when Audrey’s best friend disappears just hours before his wedding. As panic sets in, Audrey begins to fear the worst—that she may have kissed him during his bachelor party the night before, unknowingly triggering her curse once again. With time running out and emotions running high, Audrey teams up with the groom’s best man to retrace the events of the night and uncover what really happened.
As they search for the missing groom, Audrey is forced to confront her past, her fears, and the beliefs she has built around love and fate. What begins as a desperate mission slowly turns into something deeper, filled with unexpected moments, emotional honesty, and the possibility that Audrey’s story doesn’t have to end the way it always has. The journey challenges her to question whether she’s truly cursed—or simply afraid to take a chance on love for herself.
