His Last Shot - Paperback

by Elaine Evans (Author)

In the game of love, she is HIS LAST SHOT.

Everyone loves the tall, funny, successful, and ridiculously handsome pool shark, Johnny Givens. He's the guy every woman wants. So why hasn't he found the one? At forty-five years old, he's tired of the dating scene, tired of not clicking with any woman that crosses his path.

He's over it.

Rachel Garcia hopes for a better life, but for now, she bartends at her overbearing Uncle Dexter's bar. And as for love, she has a few rules. No dating customers, no dating older men. Sounds simple enough. Yet, it's the rheumatoid arthritis she's battled since childhood that makes everything feel so difficult and hopeless. Why would anyone stick around long term? Chronic illness isn't something you expect to deal with at the age of thirty.

Life is so unfair.

Then Johnny happens. He's a customer, fifteen years older, and everything she doesn't want. As luck would have it, she's forced to see a lot of him when he joins the local pool league at Dexter's. Now, nothing is ever the same. With her heart or her life.

Johnny is smitten. Sparks fly, and chemistry erupts unlike anything he's ever felt before. Dates spent stargazing with her are the building blocks to the love story he has always desired. If only it were that simple. Rachel's insecurities, a dangerous uncle who runs an illegal gambling ring, and an ex-fiancé who wants her back, all threaten to destroy Johnny's last shot at love.
