In a rare moment, professional poker player Jax Gallagher committed a rookie's mistake. He threw an IOU for a valuable baseball that wasn't his to wager into the pot-and lost. Now the man who won the collectible is demanding his prize...or else. The problem is, the ball is in the possession of his estranged father's widow-a flamboyant Las Vegas showgirl. Jax intends to get it back, by any means available. Only, Treena McCall is anything but the ruthless gold digger Jax expects. She's built a life for herself filled with good friends and hard work. And, if she sometimes wonders what it would be like to share her dreams with someone, she can live with the suspense. She's got enough on her plate trying to hang on to her job as a dancer without being wined, dined and seduced by sexy Jax Gallagher. In Vegas, there's more than one way to lose your shirt, and both Jax and Treena know better than to bet on love. Yet sometimes rolling the dice in a high-stakes game can lead to a prize beyond compare-if you have the courage to gamble your heart.
