Abby's Bluff by Heather Hart

Abielle O'Sullivan's world is turned on its axis when her boyfriend is killed in a motorcycle crash. To break the ensuing months-long cycle of self-destructive grief, her best friend Miah, buys plane tickets and first class accommodation for a fun weekend in Las Vegas. On their very first night, Abby meets Joel, an aloof but streetwise card shark who is drawn to the cautious and sad-eyed beauty. He encourages the two friends to try their hand at the poker tables.

When Miah gets out-of-control drunk and loses more than she can pay, Joel offers Abby an unusual way out of the jam. Depending upon who wins one game of high-card, the alpha male will either cover Miah's losses, or Abby will become his sex slave for the duration of her stay in Vegas. Desperately wanting to help her friend, Abby is sorely tempted by his offer, even though she is not a gambling woman. Finally, she takes a chance and plays the game.

When she loses the draw, Abby's once limited sexual horizons are pushed to their limits.

With his understanding and sympathetic nature, however, Joel could prove to be more than a means to heal the hurt from her past. In fact, he might just be the one man she'd always dreamed of. Then again, maybe he’s just a conman. In the end, only she can decide what her limits are.

And what happens after that is anyone's game.
