Description
From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Mara Jacobs comes Book 1 in the Anna Dawson mystery series.
My name is Anna Dawson, and I'm a gambler.
And like any gambler will tell you, sometimes that’s good, and sometimes...not so much. And sometimes it’s an outright problem.
I love Vegas, and I love the life I've built, but when one of my friends is murdered, and another one shot at, I know I need to take a serious look at myself. And I need to call in the big guns. Even if that means teaming up with Detective Jack Schiller, a man battling his own demons.
Right now I'm just trying to juggle protecting my friends, helping Jack while not letting him get too close, and finding a murderer. And oh yeah, no one can learn about my gambling.
Or this will be the last hand I'm dealt.
*NOTE: The case is solved, the perpetrator caught, but there are a few threads that are continuing on through the next book and the series.
