When you become the poker prize, all bets are off...
Jade Frost thought she was going on a date with her boyfriend--not to his poker game.
She really didn’t expect that weasel to throw her in the pot.
Then he had the nerve to lose. Talk about the perfect excuse for Jade to make him her ex-boyfriend. She wasn’t quick enough, though. Before she knows it, a frat boy wins the hand--and her.
Shep Prescott is extremely handsome and richer than sin, but he doesn’t own her. It was just a game, after all.
No matter how disinterested she acts, no matter how rudely she rejects his advances, he keeps coming back. Maybe even more than before.
He could have anything he wants, but she’s the only prize he’s after.
When she finds herself starting to fall for him, Jade’s confused. There’s more to Shep than the carefree player he shows the world.
So is he ready to win her for real, or will she call his bluff?
