When the turn of a card seals your fate, you need to stack the deck.
Jessica Windemere loses her freedom when her father bets her in a poker game. But she isn’t willing to accept her fate without a fight. To have her revenge, she first must survive an unknown world while contracted as some stranger’s wife. She wants nothing more to do with men until a huge, dark god rides into her camp. Can she risk losing her new love on the turn of a card?
Kiernan Randall is on his way home from a trading mission. The group of abandoned women he finds were definitely not expected, especially their feisty, red-haired leader. She is contracted to his enemy, but gives herself to him and firmly entwines his heart. Can he trust her enough to let her wager their future together on her skill with cards?
Content Warning: Language, sensual and explicit scenes of m/f sexuality.
Reviews
Long and Short Romance Reviews: "If you like light science fiction stories (the kind where you don’t need a degree in physics to understand what’s going on) that have a solid plot and fun characters, with some steaminess thrown in, I think you’ll enjoy Aces and Eights. I’ll be looking for more from this author."
