Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession After
POV: ELI / BRIGAILThree months later.His fingers stilled on the round, raised edge of skin just below her breast.He made himself breathe through it. It's only a scar. She's here. She's fine.She turned toward him and worked her fingers through his hair, slow and deliberate, the way she did when she knew he was in his head."I hate this," he said."I know. You've told me approximately a million times.""Pam knows a surgeon.""I want to keep it." She touched it herself, lightly. "It's my Purple Heart."He looked at her in the dark. "It's the night I failed to protect you.""It's the night you came through a door alone and unarmed because every second counted," she said. "Which one of us is right?"He didn't answer. He ran his thumb along the edge of the scar instead, as gently as he knew how.The first time they made love after the accident, he had been so careful with her that she told him to stop treating her like she was made of glass. He had taken mild offense to that. No one had
Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession Sucker Punch
POV: ELIHe was already moving when Pam burst through the revolving doors."She still needs to finish Barry's admission form," Pam said, falling into step beside him. "You have to go to the MGM. Burnham's there with the Feds. If we wait for her, we lose Russell and there's no one to arrest."Eli looked at the doors. "Let's go."The arrest went exactly as planned.Russell's face when he saw the empty vault. Felipe stepping out of the shadow with the nine millimeter. The cops and Feds filing in behind Burnham. Russell's wrists in cuffs. The Miranda rights delivered with the particular satisfaction of a man who had waited a long time to say them."Manufacturing and distribution of prohibited substance," Burnham said. "And I am also here to inform you that you are a fugitive from justice in the state of Louisiana. For the murder of Earl Havens."Russell laughed. "A forty-year-old cold case? Your only evidence is the lack of it.""Your fingerprint matched the one lifted from the barrel," t
Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession The Last Hand
POV: ELI"Spread the word, the king of the North has arrived!"Stan Davis raised his champagne flute from across the room and Eli tipped his head in return, scanning the suite as he entered.The room was exactly as arranged. Stan and Isabel at one of the cocktail tables. Pam working the bar with Robert Lee and Charlie Ho. Andre Leclerq by the window with an unlit cigar, who looked away the moment he and Eli made eye contact.And Russell Edgington at the oval table, wearing the expression of a man who had been waiting to say something unpleasant and was rationing it.Peter Threadgill beside him. Identical scowl.Eli ran a hand through his hair and took the seat to the dealer's right.The dealer, Claudette, was Pam's last-minute replacement after Palomino passed word that Russell had paid off the original croupier. She had a high ponytail and a smile wide enough to fill the room and she had been thoroughly briefed. She clapped her hands twice and showed her sleeves to the table, then cr
Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession The Last Act
POV: ELI / BRIGAILThere was no magic trick. Only a perfectly choreographed illusion.Eli pushed his black statement glasses up his nose and scanned the sixth row from the ring. Pam and Roman sat on either side of his double, who had the good sense to keep one hand against the side of his face. From four rows up and slightly left, Mr. Tuxedo was convincing enough. He had cost Pam a considerable sum and was worth every dollar.He would have been more satisfied if Brigail hadn't given the man a second look when she walked in with Russell.Turn around. I'm right here.He forced his attention back to the ring. The Mexican fighter was the clear underdog, swaying on his feet, and even a casual observer could see where the fight was heading. Eli was not a casual observer. He was not an observer at all. He was bored before the first bell and had been watching the clock since the second round.9:05pm.If everything held, Clove was halfway to the eighth floor.He settled back in his seat and al
Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession Moses Is On The Move
POV: BRIGAIL / JERRY / ELIIt wasn't the Rosetta Stone.Brigail didn't need a law degree to understand what Russell had slid across the desk. A change of ownership. His name out, hers in. The Edgington Industries, all of it, signed over to his granddaughter.She flipped the folder shut."My signature's precious," she said. "Unless you explain exactly what this is, I'm not signing anything."Russell leaned back in his chair and clasped his fingers together. "It's a gift.""There's always a catch.""I'm broke," he said, without missing a beat.She almost laughed. She covered her mouth with the back of her hand and let a little of it out anyway. "So what you're giving me is a house of cards. Ready to collapse at the first push."The muscles in his jaw leaped. He was not finding this funny.She let her amusement die. "I'm not signing it. Find another patsy.""What gives you the impression you have a choice?" His tone was lazy but the threat underneath it was not. "This is a formality. My
Deuces Wild: The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession The Board Shifts
POV: RUSSELL / ELIFor someone who owned two casinos, Russell Edgington was not a gambler.Gambling meant surrendering control to chance. He operated on calculated risks, on variables he could see, move, and when necessary, remove. He had done it for fifty years and he had done it well.Today, for the first time in a long time, he felt the board shifting without his hand on it.Barry Carrolton and Sandy Sechrest took their seats across from him with the careful steps of people who understood the temperature of the room and were not eager to raise it."Mr. Edgington." Barry started with a cautious nod. "I only have bad news. Javier still can't locate the source of the system override. Whoever built the firewall around our software knew exactly what they were doing. He says it would help to know where the bug was installed."Russell already knew where it was installed. Javier had told him yesterday and he had ordered the man to keep it between them. He said nothing now and turned to San

POV: ELIHe put his hands in his pockets and walked toward her with the unhurried steps of a man with nowhere else to be and nothing he wanted more than to stand exactly where he was standing.She was extraordinary.He had thought it in the lobby of the Obsidian Ace the first night he saw her in th
