title: The Player
author: Jones, Lisa Renee
description: From New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones comes the introductory short in a brand new romance series, perfect for fans of Karen Robards and Laura Griffin. Desperate to pay for law school, Skye tries her hand at auction hunting with her friend Ella, only to find a poker chip and a note leading to an offsite locker. The next thing she knows, Jason "Red Bull" Wise, a famous millionaire poker player is at her door, accusing her of blackmail. Innocent, she swears he's wrong. He rolls the dice and believes her, impulsively inviting her along to Las Vegas. And remarkably cautious Skye takes a risk, finding herself seduced by this dangerously alluring man, on his private jet, and finally living life to the fullest. That is, until she is in the sights of the real blackmailer-a jealous ex who wants Skye dead and Jason to pay for sins that even Skye might not be able to forgive him for.
