Beschreibung des Verlags
Annie Jump Navarro is an Ivy League math whiz kid who has won numerous Internet poker championships under the handle supern0va. But when the Feds crack down on legislation making the funding of online gambling accounts illegal, most of Nova's assets are frozen. Her sponsors will only continue to support her if she can win a championship bracelet at one of the live events of the World Series of Poker. She heads for Vegas, where she meets Vesper Blake, an ambitious but jaded casino host who has seen too many fools flock to the strip only to leave broke and humiliated. Will Vesper be able to successfully coach the volatile Nova to win at live poker? And will Nova be able to convince Vesper that she should take a gamble on true romance?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Nova lives in the Bay Area and believes she's made close to a million playing online poker. Vesper is a beautiful Las Vegas casino host with a chip on her shoulder and her eye on the main chance. When Nova discovers that her offshore cash has been seized by the Feds and she's down to her last $30,000, she agrees to take her poker skills live in Sin City for a last-chance sponsorship win or go home. Readers who love Vegas or Texas Hold 'Em will revel in the richly detailed casino trappings and lengthy play-by-play of card hands. However, the label "romance" sits oddly on this poker tale. Nova trembles and Vesper kowtows before a dismaying and distracting array of men. Sparks do fly between the women eventually but the only convincing love that Nova and Vesper project is their unabashed yearning for cash.
