At the table, everyone thinks they’re running the perfect game.Maya Walsh didn’t land in Texas looking for trouble. Running on sharp eyes and sharper instincts, she crosses paths with a swaggering cowboy who knows exactly what he’s doing and leaves him wondering how he didn’t see her coming. She never expects to run into him again… but fate has a funny way of reshuffling the deck.Drew Callahan’s reputation precedes him at every table he’s ever sat down at. He plays fast, he plays smart, and he almost always wins. When Maya leaves him short a little more than just his pride, he doesn’t want to get even. He wants her at the table—because he’s about to face something he doesn’t know how to beat alone.What begins as an unlikely partnership soon becomes a far more dangerous alliance, where both players have tricks up their sleeves. After all, it takes a conman to know a conman. As the stakes climb higher and secrets threaten to surface, Maya and Drew must decide what’s riskier: losing the game they’ve been running together—or losing the one they didn’t mean to start.
