Mia Nightingale Marcos is more nightmare than nightingale.
Iām handed the reins to the family business along with an inexperienced assistant barely out of high school. Not to mention, sheās distractingly beautiful and completely off-limits. I plan to be so unbearable sheāll quit, but sheās tougher than she looks. Now she appears to be hiding something and the deeper I dig, the more invested I become, causing my world to spin.
Just when I think Iāve got her figured out, she vanishes, leaving a trail of unanswered questions, sending me on a dangerous pursuit.
Jackson Soloman is the boss from hell.
But I can handle him. Balancing work by day and poker by night was a breeze until Jackson stepped in. It was easier when he was making my life hell, not trying to play hero. Now, I canāt shake him off, and with the growing attraction between us, Iām not sure I want to.
Will Mia and Jackson survive the trials of deceit and danger that lie ahead? In a heart-wrenching climax that tests their love and commitment, every decision could be their last bet.

āYou have got to be kidding me.ā Iām staring at my parents with my mouth open in shock.
āJackson, Sofiaās had a hard life, and if we can do something as simple as give her daughter a job to show some kindness, then thatās what weāre going to do. Her husband walked out on her and that poor girl five years ago. He just left them to gamble his life away.ā My mom has always had a bleeding heart.
āMom, sheās seventeen, for fuckās sake. Sheās barely out of diapers, and you expect her to be my assistant? Do you know what that entails?ā Iām outraged. And thatās putting it mildly. I knew Cindy, my executive assistant, was going on maternity leave soon, but Iād already talked to her about hiring someone from a temp agency to take her place until she returned. Instead, they want a high schooler to do her job.
