Vienna Mortenson isn't your typical gambler. She prefers to stay under the radar, using her poker winnings to support her family and her community, including the local search and rescue team, which she heads up. Out in the backcountry there's
no time for hesitation when lives are on the line. Vienna prides herself on being tough and decisive. She's not the sort to make a fool of herself over a guy, especially one who left her high and dry without a backward glance.
Zale Vizzini's job constantly puts him in harm's way. Working undercover and disappearing for months at a time isn't exactly a recipe for a stable relationship.
Despite the challenges and the risks, Zale wants something real with Vienna. He just needed time to figure out how to be in her life without putting her in danger.
Now, he's determined to win her back, and he's ready to lay all his cards on the table.
As their friends' wedding approaches, Zale takes advantage of the festivities to make a play for Vienna's heart. But there are more deadly forces waiting to strike in the rugged terrain of Nevada and the western Sierras. Soon both of their lives
are threatened, and the odds are stacked against them. ...

Starred review from May 16, 2022
Bestseller Feehan (Murder at Sunrise Lake) fires on all cylinders with this expertly wrought romantic suspense novel. Nurse Vienna Mortenson loves two things: her peaceful, isolated life in California’s Eastern Sierras—and online gambling. After gaining considerable acclaim for her winning strategies, she heads to Las Vegas for a high-profile gambling tournament and comes face to face with Zale Vizzini, the man who broke her heart by ghosting her months earlier. Someone’s been picking off undercover agents investigating billionaire casino owner Daniel Wallin, and Zale, a military operative, is in town to catch the killer. When Vienna beats Wallin at cards, she inadvertently paints a target on her back. Now Zale will do whatever it takes to protect her. Plucky Vienna and mysterious Zale are an explosive combination, and Feehan continually ratchets up the breathless danger and sexual tension. Secondary characters get just as much development; Zale’s partner, Rainier, and Vienna’s brassy friends, Raine and Shabina, are sure to win readers over. This dazzling thrill-ride proves impossible to resist. Agent: Meg Ruley, Jane Rotrosen Agency.
