A terrific book with the fascinating setting of a Las Vegas casino. Annalise's casino is losing money to a thief, and she has been unsuccessful in catching them. When she talks to her brother about the problem, he hires Luca, a technical wizard, to investigate. The difficulty is that Annalise and Luca have a history that made them enemies.
Eight years earlier, Luca was wrongly accused of cheating in that casino. He feels great resentment toward Annalise's father, who meted out his own form of punishment with Annalise as a witness. He finds it ironic that he is tasked with helping her find a real cheater.
Their first meeting is contentious. Annalise wants nothing to do with the man she believes is a cheater, no matter what he can supposedly do. Luca thinks that she is arrogant and spoiled. Neither trusts the other, and Luca enjoys pushing her buttons. Neither expected the intense attraction they felt. As they worked together to identify the thief, Luca and Annalise realized they had misjudged each other. Both are stubborn and still have clashes, even as their attraction strengthens and their feelings for each other grow. But a confrontation over dealing with the thief stirs up insecurities and drives a wedge between Luca and Annalise. It takes some straight talk from a friend to open Luca's eyes to what he might be missing. I loved seeing him face his fears in an emotional scene with Annalise.
I enjoyed the casino setting and getting a small taste of what goes on behind the scenes.

Annalise and Luca are powerful characters. Luca pushes all her buttons the right way, so she displays all her emotions without even noticing them. At the same time, Annalise pulls his emotional strings in a way he didn’t expect it. Their sizzling chemistry runs all over the book in exciting waves. Their antagonistic (in the beginning) and passionate (after) interactions are the best of this book. Both hero and heroine are strong, stubborn, and alluring. Their romance grows with each page, turning them an outstanding couple.
In terms of writing, if I could say something about this book is that it introduces you into the casino world without effort, so you could understand all the technical elements about running a casino easily. Ms. Sinclair did her homework VERY well. Also, the scenes flow smoothly not only in the chronological events but on the main characters’ emotions and interactions with each other and the secondary ones.
Generally, the author (who based on this book reveals herself as a fascinating storyteller), checks almost all the boxes. This is a well written book with an exciting couple, well developed backgrounds, solid argument and a great ending. Since this is my first book from Ms. Sinclair, I’m looking forward for the rest of the Bad Billionaires series (and her other books) because I want to read more of her stories.
