Slow Play

by A.M. Morrell

Nick desperately wants his girlfriend and their daughter to come home. He's sure if he places in the money at the World Series of Poker, he can make that happen. The only problem is Nick has been on a world class bad run, which he believes drove Becca away in the first place. If he can get a piece of the $10 million prize pool, she will see that he is not a loser and hopefully put her hatred of poker behind them.Jessica on the other hand, is on a damn good run. Everything seems to fall into place for her at the poker table. Things have been going so well at the table for Jessica, that she decides she will play in the WSOP.The only problem is the $10,000 buy in. Nick and Jessica decide to capitalize on Jessica’s good luck and team up to play in high stakes games. The chemistry at the table spills into their private lives and their relationship grows as quickly as their bankroll. Until a bad beat leaves them at odds and with only enough money for one of them to play. But which one?They play a heads-up match for the honor. To Nick, the only thing worse than bad luck is losing to someone with crazy good luck, but Jessica plans on taking advantage of it for as long as she can. Will their fierce competitiveness and sizzling chemistry get in the way of the big tournament...and their chance at true love?
