HE PRINCE'S GAMBLE by Caridad Pineiro is an exciting romantic suspense.  A quick read full of passion and love. With a Russian Prince, the FBI, Russian mafia, money laundering, white slavery, prostitution, an Atlantic City casino, romance and love how can you go wrong. Follow, Special Agent Kathleen Martinez and Prince Alexander Ivanov on a fast paced, action packed adventure and danger.Prince Alexander Ivanov is scrambling to save his reputation and his livelihood. One of the Russian Nights Casino's hostesses has disappeared, and his business is suddenly under investigation by the FBI for associations with the mob and money laundering.  He is hard-working and intent on proving his innocence, and that he does not need his family's wealth to survive.Special Agent Kathleen Martinez is a tough as nails female set on doing her job. She has no patience with rich, entitled aristocrats, especially one like Alexander Ivanov whom she believes is involved in the vicious human trafficking ring which she'd tried-and failed-to shut down two years earlier.  With a second chance to bring him to justice, she goes undercover in the casino, but instead of facing the villain she expected, she finds herself battling a sizzling attraction to the man she is investigating.Now, forced to work together to trace the source of the illegal activities, and find the missing hostess, the danger-and the passion between them-grows out of control, and they slowly begin to realize the biggest danger isn't to the casino, it's to their lives...and to their hearts.This wonderful romantic suspense story is a quick intense story. The push-pull of personalities and their responsibilities reflect a reality that is often missing from short romantic tales.I was amazed by Mrs. Piñeiro's generosity and her pledge of her share of the profit from the sale of this book to the Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund
