Publisher Description
The pulse-pounding romantic thriller by No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan, set in the deadly yet beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains, will have you on the edge of your seat . . .
The stakes have never been higher . . .
Vienna Mortenson isn't your typical gambler - her poker winnings don't go on flashy cars, they support her community, including the search and rescue team she leads. Out in the wilderness, lives are on the line, and it's down to her to be tough and decisive. Vienna isn't someone who makes a fool of herself, especially over a guy who left without looking back.
Zale Vizzini's job constantly puts him in harm's way. A stable relationship seems off the cards when you work undercover. But, despite the challenges, Zale wants something real with Vienna. Now, he's determined to win her back.
As their friends' wedding approaches, Zale uses the festivities to make a play for Vienna's heart. But amid the rugged terrain of Nevada, there are more deadly forces waiting to strike. Soon, both their lives are threatened. With the odds stacked against them can they - and their love - survive?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Feehan (Murder at Sunrise Lake) fires on all cylinders with this expertly wrought romantic suspense novel. Nurse Vienna Mortenson loves two things: her peaceful, isolated life in California's Eastern Sierras—and online gambling. After gaining considerable acclaim for her winning strategies, she heads to Las Vegas for a high-profile gambling tournament and comes face to face with Zale Vizzini, the man who broke her heart by ghosting her months earlier. Someone's been picking off undercover agents investigating billionaire casino owner Daniel Wallin, and Zale, a military operative, is in town to catch the killer. When Vienna beats Wallin at cards, she inadvertently paints a target on her back. Now Zale will do whatever it takes to protect her. Plucky Vienna and mysterious Zale are an explosive combination, and Feehan continually ratchets up the breathless danger and sexual tension. Secondary characters get just as much development; Zale's partner, Rainier, and Vienna's brassy friends, Raine and Shabina, are sure to win readers over. This dazzling thrill-ride proves impossible to resist.
