Description
It’s crazy how three seconds can change your life.
For Steve Pelham, those three seconds happened in a doctor’s office. His wife—the girl he had been madly in love with since elementary school—was given a terminal diagnosis. Years of being dragged through an endless cycle of betting on science and miracles to save the love of his life? Useless.
Nine months later, he finds himself taking a statement from the surviving passenger of a fatal car accident in the very same hospital where he lost his wife.
Erica Shaw’s three life changing seconds happened on her first day in Beaufort, North Carolina. After losing her fiance in the blink of an eye, she finds herself face to face with one grumpy cop.
Detective Jerk Face had resigned to the routine of sleep, eat, and work for the rest of his life. When a new girl in danger turns Steve’s life upside down, he’s forced to decide whether or not loving someone is a risk he’s willing to take again.
Sometimes there’s no way to know what the right move is when you’re handed a wild card.
The Beaufort Poker Club series is meant to be enjoyed in order. Start with book one, Poker Face: a steamy enemies to lovers romance!
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Slow Burn? Oh yeah! Steamy? Of course! Feels? Buy tissues in bulk. A grumpy cop with a penchant for telling it like it is. A good girl who has a serious aversion to four letter words. Adult kickball tournament? Watch a group of hunky first responders throw down like they’re in middle school. This is a story of redemption, forgiveness, and second chances.
