A world-famous professional poker player heads to a quiet Vermont inn hoping to escape a streak of bad luck, only to find his carefully planned solitude disrupted by an independent innkeeper who has no interest in his celebrity status. Sparks fly immediately as their clashing personalities create plenty of witty banter, stubborn stand-offs, and undeniable chemistry. As they spend more time together, both begin to confront old emotional wounds and discover that taking a chance on love can be far riskier than any high-stakes poker game.

Set against the charming backdrop of a small Vermont town, the story delivers a lighthearted contemporary romance with memorable side characters and a satisfying happily-ever-after.
