The Gambler

by Denise Grover Swank

First published 2025

Libby Saint Clair believes in the curse a fortune teller cast on her and her two best friends years ago. The prediction states each woman will marry before thirty, face a disastrous marriage, and end up with someone other than her original fiancé. Her friends already lived through this pattern and found happiness. Libby tries to speed things along by proposing to her boyfriend, but she panics and runs from the altar. Noah McMillan helps her escape. He has spent most of his adult years avoiding responsibility but now wants to grow up. When Noah realizes he loves Libby, he flies to Kansas City to stop her wedding, only to discover she already fled. To cheer her up and prove he can be the man she deserves, Noah takes Libby on a wild road trip to Las Vegas. In Sin City, risk takers can win everything or lose it all. The question becomes whether Libby and Noah will bet on love.
