Jax and Treena's story. Prequel to JUST FOR KICKS. Jax has to find his father's collectible baseball, which his father's widow has in her possession. He devises a plan to seduce the gold-digging floozy who ran through his father's fortune, and relieve her of the baseball which should have been his. Unfortunately, Treena is nothing like he supposes, and Jax gradually discovers that he has lied to the one woman he can love.
I enjoyed this book, but it was tense, rather than light hearted, because the hero has childhood problems to work through. I liked the sequel much better.

A great summer time read! Fun and oh, so sexy. I had a fun time reading this in Vegas on my honeymoon by the pool. It set the mood for the whole trip.

This book was a lot of fun and informative in that I learned how the big poker tournaments were run.
Anything by Susan Andersen is fun!

Light and steamy love story between a professional poker player and a showgirl. To rachet up the interest, the gambler is, unbeknownst to the dancer, her stepson. And he wants to retrieve a baseball that he felt should rightfully have belonged to him... and that he has already gambled away.
This was one of those books that made me want to scream at the main characters to tell the truth already!
I did like the characters Andersen created, including the older Mack and Ellen.

Jax Gallagher is a professional poker player that needs something from Vegas dancer Treena McCall. This is another great hot and steamy romance from author Susan Andersen.

Professional gambler Jax Gallagher is sure that Las Vegas showgirl Treena McCall married his father for his money. Now he is going to have to get to know his young, widowed stepmother so he can retrieve a priceless baseball he recklessly bet in a high-stakes game with an Elvis-impersonating mobster. Treena McCall went through her husband's fortune to get him the best medical help when he was dying of cancer, only holding on to the baseball he said he wanted his son to have. Now she has no idea that Jax is that son. Soon, she is falling for Jax, and in spite of himself, he is falling for her. Sex, lies, a bad guy in white polyester, and a prized baseball add up nicely, while a delightful secondary romance featuring a buttoned-up, retired librarian who becomes a hot mama adds humor. Written with Andersen's signature sass and sizzle, this book will appeal to fans of Sandra Hill and Rachel Gibson.
