Damien Larson runs a Houston nightclub with an illegal poker room upstairs. The youngest of the Larson brothers has built success through quick wit and devil's luck, but he cannot reach the one woman he wants most. Emma Haskell keeps his books and feels the pull of his dark energy, though she knows he offers more danger than she can handle. When her brother's gambling debts threaten to destroy her family, Damien presents a deal. He will forgive what her brother owes in exchange for thirty days with Emma. She knows accepting means entering his world completely. Damien plans to show his careful accountant what living on the edge feels like. Emma awakens something in him he thought was gone forever. Their arrangement ignites passion that could burn them both or transform Damien into a man worth fighting for.
