Amelia Penney is an 18-year-old gambler on a luck streak; she enjoys and partakes in the "Vegas Night" on the 7th day of every week. She often deals with toxic drama at home, so she had to find a hobby. Amelia only ever teases a guy if he try's to flirt with her. She's never had a boyfriend and she's never been in love.
Amelia doesn't feel threatened by any boy, any man, until she meets Parrish Livingston. Parrish is the new handyman at the diner where she works. He grabs her attention unlike any other guy she's met, which scares her. She quickly realizes she can't hold back, or tease him off. He makes her feel curious and she can't hide away from her feelings for him forever.
On top of it, he's a beautiful man that is good with words. How could she resist?
Parrish Livingston is a singer, song writer, and guitarist who has moved to Vegas from Pennsylvania. He was a womanizer in high school through college, which is what got him kicked out of college. His father told him to move to Vegas, work at the diner, and grow up. Parrish is talented, but he's been taking a break from his talent since college. He's never been in love but he sure has slept around. He knew Amelia was different. Parrish couldn't stop thinking about Amelia since that first conversation they had in the quiet room, in the back of the diner. That feeling was so foreign to him, but at the same time he was fascinated by how she made him feel.
Will Parrish and Amelia find love for the first time together? Through all the adventures they go through, together or separate, they have to figure out how to let go of fear. What all really happens at the Underdog's Underground, the most lively place to gamble in Vegas? Will Lauren, Amelia's mother, resurface?

With a devilish grin, I point it squarely at Aiden's forehead. "You told me coming here would be risky for me, "I taunted, my voice dripping with confidence, "but guess what, Aiden, I am the danger myself." In response, he swiftly retrieves a gun, his movements precise and unwavering. He levels it at my forehead, not even a trace of hesitation in his eyes. The room crackles with tension as the two loaded guns lock onto each other, the standoff reaching its climax.

Fiercely independent, Jessie refuses to rely on any man, a resolve hardened after heartbreak at the hands of Max Lane, a rancher's son, two years prior. Jessie has resolved to take up bull riding, a skill that appears to be a family legacy. Her lifelong dream has been to ride a bull before an audience, but now, her ambition has shifted to rescuing the White Family Ranch after a substantial portion of their funds vanished and debts began accumulating. Max Lane's family is eager to buy the White Family Ranch, but Jessie refuses to let him take away the one thing that sustains her. Being a beauty bartender owner and a female bull rider makes things challenging. Everyone says she can't do it because she's a woman, but Jessie is determined to prove them all wrong. Initially skeptical, Trace Black doesn't recognize her potential until he witnesses her mount a bull for the first time.
