If you once accept the premise that some people actually do have a jinx--and that the people around you know this that--then the rest of this story is very good. How do you think a small community would react to you once the news got out that anyone around you risked bodily harm if they just looked at you sideways? And how would you make a living if any person you touched suddenly had an accident? Think about it!

From back cover: Her luck's so bad it's a crime. Everyone in Royal Flush, Louisiana, knows Mallory Devereaux is a walking disaster. At least now she's found a way to take advantage of her chronic bad luck: by "cooling" cards on her uncle's casino boat. As long as the crooks invited to his special poker tournament don't win their money back, she'll get a cut of the profit. But Mal isn't the only one working some major mojo. There's a dark-eyed dealer sending her looks steamier than the bayou in August. Turns out he's an undercover agent named Jake Randoll, and for a Yank, he's pretty darn smart. Smart enough to enlist her help to catch a money launderer. As they race to untangle a web of decades-old lies and secrets amid a gathering of criminals, Mallory can't help hoping her luck's about to change
