When West Virginia wild child, Glory Allen enters a private poker game with her town's dreams at stake she loses it all. To make matters worse, she's trapped in a car with the sexy but infuriating man who won--and accused her of cheating. Now because of him, she's on the run from the mafia who put out a hit on the stuck-up casino magnate with the toe-curling good looks--and he isn't even her type. So why can't she cool the explosive chemistry between them? She's out of control...and she's enough to drive Luke Tanner crazy. Yet she's the only one willing to put her neck on the line...for him--a complete stranger she professes to hate. Now he's in debt...to her. And it's a debt he's willing to work off any way she wants...on the hood of his sports car, in a waterfall--wherever she'll have him, he's willing to pay the price, but the stakes are raised when they return to West Virginia--helping Luke escape has put Glory and her hometown in the sites of someone who wants him dead. This time Glory decides she's not going to end up empty-handed--it's time for the winner to take all and she won't stop 'til she wins his heart.Review:What a great, sexy, fun romp!What starts out as a high stakes poker game in Las Vegas quickly turns into a run for your life trip across country to West Virginia.  Glory has been sent to Las Vegas by her town to win enough money to keep developers at bay in their town.  While she is in Vegas she joins a poker game where she meets Luke, a billionaire real estate developer.  When another person at the poker game attempts to kidnap Luke the adventure starts...Glory and Luke are so fun together, I can so see a movie of this starring a young Sandra Bullock and I don't know maybe Matthew McConaughy.  I love the banter between these two and the sexual tension that builds between these two the longer they are together.  I think the getting to know each other helps the other overcome their fears and fight for each other.  The end was so heart warming and was the perfect ending.This is the first book I have read by Ms. Barley and I cannot wait to read more of her work.4 stars
