Sixteen year old Ruby Palmer is about to walk into the most dangerous and frightening job imaginable - trainee office junior.
Ruby's inability to type and her very bad attitude keep her moving around the firm until she eventually finds herself under the strict rule of Mr Alessi, senior partner and successful criminal lawyer. Ruby soon discovers that not everything is as it seems. All the wrong kinds of people think Mr Alessi just employed himself an easy target and they intend to bully Ruby into doing their dirty work for them. What they don't realise is that Ruby isn't one to bow down to intimidation or pressure. She's quick, she's clever, and she's about to give them all a deadly run for their money
Poker Face is Book 1 in a legal thriller series aimed at the young adult and adult reader. It is packed with thrills, suspense, romance, twists and turns, and has already received a pretty good fan base with lots of fantastic reviews (on another platform).
The plan is to post up to two chapters a week, editing as I go. Hope you enjoy, and please let me know what you think!

She is my precious prize possession, and nobody fucking ordered me to do such thing, especially not my Bambolina.

Her full lips frowned softly but her eyes were filled with amusement. She knew she couldn't beat me, not at this game. "Are you quitting? Are you a quitter?" I mocked getting under her skin. Her lips twitched before she pursed them tightly. The blues of her eyes deepened and she threw me a dangerous smirk. She shuffled and pulled off one of her sandals. Fuck.
