Silverton is a town built on silver, sin, and the turn of a card. In the heart of it all stands The Velvet Spade, the most coveted saloon in the West, ruled by the sharp-witted and sharper-tongued Evangeline Broussard. She built her empire with skill and nerve, outplaying the men who tried to take what was hers. But power is a fickle thing, and when a ruthless businessman sets his sights on her saloon, she finds herself facing a game where the stakes aren't just money-they're life and death. Lachlan Kane never gambles unless the odds are in his favor. But vengeance is a different kind of wager, and when his hunt for the man who murdered his father leads him to Silverton, he knows he's walking into a dangerous game. His only way in is through Evangeline, a woman who trusts no one and plays her cards close to the chest. Their uneasy alliance crackles with tension, but as bullets fly and secrets unravel, he realizes he's risking more than just revenge. He's risking his heart. In a town where survival is the only rule, outlaws and lawmen alike are closing in, and there's no telling who will be left standing when the final hand is played. Deals are made in the shadows, love is the most dangerous gamble of all, and the deadliest enemies aren't always the ones with guns. Some games can't be won-but walking away isn't an option.
