Publisher Description
HOW MUCH WOULD A WOMAN RISK TO BE IRRESISTIBLE TO MEN?
Beautiful, brilliant McCall Sayer has unlocked the secret of sexual attraction. To the right buyer, the formula is worth billions. But is it worth dying for? Suddenly, McCall is caught in a dangerous game, only one step ahead of a determined killer.
WAS IT WORTH HER HEART?
With her reputation in ruins and her life threatened, McCall reinvents herself as an ace blackjack player. New Orleans casino manager Jake Donovan is instantly, irresistibly attracted to the stunning redhead. But the twice-burned Jake has always been able to walk away from any woman. Not this time.
OR WOULD IT COST HER HER LIFE?
McCall needs him, and—heaven help him—Jake needs her. Soon Jake and McCall find themselves in a place where passion, guilt and revenge collide—and where love can be as fleeting as a woman's beauty. Or as perfect....

"WONDERFUL CHARACTERS AND A RIVETING PLOT MAKE THIS A HUMDINGER OF A BOOK. STUNNING."
—PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review) (Wrapped in Wishes)
“A TERRIFIC WRITER.”
—JAYNE ANN KRENTZ (Risky Games)
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
After the laudable Wrapped in Wishes, Bicos's latest suffers from a triple whammy of overplotting, bio-scientific laboratory shenanigans and a plethora of unnecessary secondary characters that make this a confusing read. Disgraced scientist Dr. McCall Sayer uses her considerable intelligence to play the riverboat casinos while she bides her time to even scores with Clark Cosmetics, the unethical company that orchestrated her downfall. Her uncanny luck at blackjack, along with her gorgeous gams and burgundy-colored hair, brings her to the attention of twice-divorced, ex-New Orleans prosecutor-turned-casino-manager Jake Donovan. But this enormously appealing pair of lovers can't begin to rescue a story that tries too hard to satisfy the strictures of both suspense and romance. Less, in this case, would have been more.
