♠️ ACE OF SPADES

In poker, everyone is raw, laid bare-no masks, no lies, just the truth staring back across the table.

Selene Moreau vanished without a trace-leaving behind nothing but whispers and an ace of spades. A woman who once played the legal system like a well-stacked deck, she thought she had folded for good. Until someone came looking.

Cassian Vale doesn't chase women. He doesn't need to. But Selene? She's not just a woman-she's a question he can't answer, a hand he can't quite read. When he finds her in Biloxi, she's playing a new game-low stakes, quiet life, far removed from the ruthless courts and smoky poker dens where she once reigned.

But Cassian knows better. A woman like Selene doesn't fold. She bides her time.
And now, time's up.

A game of strategy.
A slow-burning seduction.
And a danger that's closing in.

In the end, someone has to fold.
The question is-who?
