Stella Antonov is a successful entrepreneur and businesswoman in none other than New York City. And her reputation certainly proceeds her, with her name recognized among some of The Big Apple's most prominent figures.
But she's not well-known for living lavishly as a snooty socialite in the Upper East Side of Manhattan; or because she is the well-to-do, affluent spouse of a billionaire Wall Street mogul. She isn't "old money." Or "new money." None of the above, actually.
Twenty-five year-old Stella just so happens to run the most exclusive, high-stakes underground casino in the Northeast. And she's been damn good at maintaining her success without getting caught... until now.
When Stella's casino begins to draw unwanted attention from multiple sources, the woman who always has a solution suddenly finds herself in uncharted territory. Especially when a mysterious stranger makes an appearance at her club, inevitably drawing Stella into a clandestine web of secrets, lust, and deception the likes of which she could have never imagined.
Stella has never been a believer in "luck," per se.
But luck could wind up being exactly what she needs in order for her casino - and her heart - to emerge unscathed.
