Summary
Cassie Black is an ex-con who needs to
make one more score in order to fulfill the dream that
sustained her in prison. Cassie Black has never looked back.
She walked away from her life as a criminal after one
disastrous night that left the man closest to her dead and her
life in a shambles. Now she's thriving at a job selling
Porsches to Hollywood hotshots. Through everything - even her
darkest moments - she has been able to keep going by holding on
to one perfect thing, her greatest secret, dearer to her than
life itself. When that secret is threatened, Cassie tosses her
new life away like a bad hand of cards and goes back in a
sprint to her old line of work. Her trade was robbing casino
gamblers, and she was the very best. Now it's the only way she
can make enough money fast to maybe make everything right.
Quickly she lines up a mark, a man who has been winning
steadily for a week at high-stakes baccarat. The job goes
smoothly until she opens his briefcase ... And discovers a
world of trouble she never dreamed of. Her superstitious friend
who lined up the job says it's the bad-luck void moon having
its malignant way. Cassie knows it's worse. She's crossed paths
again with her life's nemesis, the man who destroyed everything
six years before. He's Jack Karch, a private investigator by
day who does bloody work for casino owners by night. Walking
back into his sights is the worst thing that's ever happened to
Cassie. Getting out alive will take all her skill and luck and
faith in that one good thing ...
