Jim Halcyon has billions, but he wants one thing he cannot buy: Lady Luck, an ancient copper coin. The grizzly shifter billionaire travels from New York's power corridors to Vegas casinos, chasing women and deals with equal appetite. This year he returns to gamble for the coin that slips through his fingers annually. He plans to focus completely on winning it back. Then he spots Lillie on the casino floor. Her green eyes and shimmering hair catch his attention despite his determination. Lillie has five days in Vegas before a major life change. The shy bear shifter finds the city overwhelming but wants one last adventure before settling into her future. She seeks a final fling to remember. Jim offers exactly what she wants until his high stakes challenge begins. The ancient coin holds power over both their fates. Lady Luck has plans that neither Jim nor Lillie expect as their temporary arrangement becomes something deeper.
