Against the Odds: Anna Dawson #1 (Volume 1) Mara Jacobs

My name is Anna Dawson, and I?m a professional poker player. And I?m good. Very good. But, I also have a little bit of a problem with placing bets on a sporting events. Not so good. Sometimes my little problem becomes a whole lot of trouble and I need to resort to some, shall we say, less than stellar actions to get out of debt. So, I become my alter ego, JoJo, and fix college basketball games. Hey, a victimless crime, no one?s the wiser, and it?s better than the alternative, which is a drive into the desert with my loan shark and a shovel in the trunk. Although, it has to be said, my loan shark is pretty good looking. I love Vegas, and I love the life I?ve built, but when one of my friends is murdered, and another one shot at, I know I need to take a serious look at myself. And I need to call in the big guns. Even if that means teaming up with detective Jack Schiller, a man who?s dealing with his own problems. But dang, he sure is sexy. Right now I?m just trying to juggle protecting my friends, helping sexy detective Jack while not letting him get to close, and finding a murderer. And, oh yeah, no one can learn about JoJo, or this will be the last hand I'm dealt.
