Description

The Winning Hand

Casino manager Robert MacGregor Blade has seen his share of people try their luck to improve their fortunes — or lose them altogether. But when Darcy Wallace wins a jackpot worth two million on a three-dollar bet, he finds himself going all in to meet the mysterious beauty who nearly lost everything. Hiding out from an ex-fiancé obsessed with possessing her, Darcy is wary of Mac’s attention and considers just taking the money and running — until he proves that his growing love for her is a sure thing.

The Best Mistake

Zoe Fleming left behind her modelling career to raise her son Keenan in an atmosphere less consumed with surface appearances. But her post-model jobs barely cover expenses, so she opens her home to a tenant, sportswriter J. Cooper McKinnon. For a man who likes to talk a big game, Zoe must admit that Coop knows how to score by genuinely befriending Keenan. And when Coop turns his attention — and affection — to Zoe, she finds herself more than willing to engage him in the sport of love.
