Tess Bonner is naรฏve and desperate. Sheโs lost her parents along with the family money. Her easy life hasnโt prepared her to be anything but a privileged society wife. When an opportunity falls in her lap, she canโt pass it up. A girl has to eat.
Sheriff Zachery Maitland is intent on ridding wholesome Springville, Texas of the gambling outfit thatโs taken hold. Thereโs a sinister feel to the man he suspects is running it and heโs digging in to find all the players. He vows to keep his town safe.
When Zach meets Tess, heโs intrigued, yet wary. Sheโs with his main suspect and he canโt decide if sheโs another victim or part of the scheme. He hopes sheโs as innocent as she seems, but it could be part of her act.
As he pulls back the layers of the case, he starts falling for Tess. The more he hears of her story, certain details donโt make sense. Is she just a terrible liar or is something else going on? Something even she doesnโt know about?
