Description
“I’m a cocktail waitress, an amateur poker player, and a college dropout. I’m not a drug runner, I’m not a cop, I’m not qualified to do crap. I can’t be responsible for taking out a mafia kingpin!”
It’s too bad for me that no matter how sweet a person is, fate can still be a dick.
Now I’m jaded, half of me torn away and the remainder heartbreak and bones. In grief, all I want to do is to rebel against the life that betrayed me, so my roommate provides the perfect lure . . .
I awaken when I enter the New York underground, where vice and fortunes thrive. Hustling, poker, and easy money allow me to discover my true self—my forgotten soul reemerging. I just can’t promise it’ll come back pure.
It won’t matter that a dark prince is in my periphery. Theo Saxon, royalty of the mafia kingdom, thinks he can save me from a world I crave and protect me from the black elements he’s spawned from, except it’s through his very instruction that I become a part of his league and find the danger he wants so badly to keep to himself.
I think the stakes are within my control and that I can break him just as much as Theo thinks he can break me. But I won’t just be betting my heart and expecting a mob boss romance with this man and his inescapable sins.
I will wager my life.
