Overview

Theo Holland counts cards for a living. It’s fun and he makes good money, but his luck has run out. When he gets caught, he discovers the casino’s owner is Dominic Novikov—the alpha the system matched him with years ago.

Dominic Novikov didn’t build his empire by showing mercy. When card counters cheat his casinos, they don’t get second chances—they get buried in the desert. But when the omega who’s been evading their match lands in his custody, Dom makes a decision that could destroy everything he’s built: he lets Theo live.

Now Dom’s rivals smell blood in the water. And the only way to prove he’s still the ruthless bastard everyone fears is to treat Theo like what he is—a liability to be eliminated.

Except Theo might be the only person who can expose the cheating ring that’s bleeding Dom’s casino dry. And every moment they spend together makes it harder to remember why Dom should want him dead.
