    About this ebook

    Award winning author E.M. Shue brings you the start of a new dark Russian Bratva series based in Las Vegas.

    The cards are laid out. As the Boss of this town, most men wouldn't go up against me, but he won't fold. He's desperate to win. And desperation leads to drastic measures. As I'd hoped, he bets his last thing of value…her. I've bided my time waiting for her to come of age, and now she has.

    I can't lose.

    I won't lose.

    I'll cheat to win her.

    She's the ante, but I'm her match.
