Taking Chances: Volume Four: Emily's Bet

Volume Four - Emily's Bet: Emily is Roberta's "(Volume Two: Roberta's Bet) older niece and Dani's (Volume Three: Dani's Bet) sister. In this novella of about 26,000 words we meet Emily, working a job she loves with a great boss in Chicago. While Dani had always been the wallflower, timid and socially uncertain, Emily was the party girl. She was exposed to, and came to like very well, stripping games because of the entertaining and bawdy sights they placed before her eyes. The fact that she never lost was an added plus. Through her late teens and college years she found herself in ever more risky games, always coming out on top. Now at twenty-eight years old her glory days are behind her, but one night at her favorite neighborhood pub the itch strikes and she invites four male friends into a chancy game. Will her winning streak continue, or will she finally be defeated? And how will all this affect Ian, a Brit working at his London bank's Chicago office, for whom Emily has been feeling the stirrings of romantic attraction?
