The Gambler - Paperback

by Kathleen Lawless (Author)

How dare a ne'er-do-well gambler interfere in her well-ordered life?

Free-thinking Selene resents Beckett, who's been recruited by her grandfather to guide her in establishing a high-end gambling hall in their newly-settled Western town. She doesn't need help from the likes of him!

Intriguing as Beckett finds the feisty heiress, getting involved is a gamble he won't be taking. He and Selene's grandfather have a score to settle with an old nemesis, after which he'll be on his way.

As the townsfolk celebrate Summer Solstice, the presence of one or more jewel thieves threatens the town's reputation and the future of Selene's family. After their arch-enemy falls into their trap, Beckett disappears at the same time it becomes apparent the family has a new enemy.

Will their unknown foe destroy the town's future? Selene risks everything to find Beckett and learn the truth. Including that love is always a gamble worth taking.
