Billionaire casino magnate Rafael “Rafa” Salord is forced to exchange caviar for cowboy boots when he’s sent to “grow up” and run his father’s newly acquired casino in the middle of nowhere downtown Reno. When he crosses paths with feisty Destiny Morson, he starts to wonder if that nonsense about love-at-first-sight might actually be true. Maybe it’s time to trade in his playboy status and bet on something more.

Social worker Destiny Morson has always had good reason for keeping romance at arm’s length. After finding out that her business partner ran off with the community-raised funds from their non-profit, she's ready to swear off people completely. So when the sexy casino executive seems interested in helping her with her woes, she can’t help but mistrust his motives, no matter how he makes her burn…

From a night out throwing axes to supporting Destiny’s charity, Rafa stops at nothing to win over the gunshy woman he can’t get out of his head. He’s determined to break through her tough exterior, and Destiny slowly lets her guard down. But after a night of passion in his penthouse suite, things at the casino go sideways for both of them, forcing them to decide if the past is enough to prevent them from a future together.

“Now that I’ve had time to think about it. What makes you think I’d be wasting my time with…you know?”

She was having doubts about Lance? Excelente. “You want the entire list?”

“You have a list?”

He nodded slowly, in complete contrast to his spinning brain. A list was child’s play. He stepped closer. “You had a list last night. Why can’t I? Número uno: the space.”

“The space?”

“You sat at that table with him and kept a fútbol field of space between you two.” He took another step closer. She stepped back—and he stepped forward—until her back hit the alcove wall. He could smell her honey perfume. His mouth watered.

“Número dos, your eyes.” He leaned in and placed a hand on the wall on either side of her head, boxing her in.

“My eyes?” Her voice broke a little. She licked her lips.

Dios mío. He was parched.

His eyes didn’t leave hers. “When you’re with him, your eyes are indiferentes. Sin pasión.” Hers flared now.

“Número tres.”

“There’s more?”

“Your body language. You were tense, not relaxed.”

She opened her mouth as if to protest. He leaned in and trailed a finger down her left arm. She shivered. “You shouldn’t have to work so hard to feel something.”

“Lance is nice.” She placed a hand on his chest as if to push him away. But it sat there, lacking the strength or perhaps the will. The warmth of her hand burned his skin.

He covered her hand, leaned in, and touched his forehead to hers. “I’m nice,” he breathed.

“No, you’re—”

Rafa’s lips pressed against hers. Light. Tentative.

Finally. He sighed, covering her mouth with his, drinking her in. Softly. Slowly.

She slid her free hand up the length of his chest to his shoulder. His muscles rippled—no, shook—in response. It must have egged her on. Her hand reached the back of his neck and pulled him closer against her.
