Curley Jackson was the epitome of a New Mexico ranch foreman. If you ignored the killer poker playing, jazz lover with a weakness for Italian bombshells from the 60’s. And just the tiniest bit of a control fetish. But one look at Gianna Berri and  he felt a tug… on his wallet. 

Gianna Berri was sick and tired of being everybody’s last consideration. She made a rash decision and then went on the run from the Mob. She had won a seat in a poker tournament that should give her enough money to hide, at least for a little bit. But she needed funds for a room and a stake (or steak since she hadn’t eaten in a while). How hard could it be to steal one guy’s wallet?

A makeover, the shopping trip to end all shopping trips, dinner and drinks (lots of drinks!) on the arm of a hot cowboy means Gianna wakes up married, but Curley is just being a good guy, right? When the Mob finds her she’ll find out just how good because this cowboy is playing for keeps.

This sexy, heartwarming novel explores letting go of control, embracing spontaneity, and the irresistible chance encounter that could change everything. Buckle up for a wild ride of laughter, love, and unexpected forever love in the City of Sin.
