Against The Spread — Mara Jacobs

Anna Dawson is back. Unfortunately so is JoJo.

When the loan shark enforcer who beat her up years ago is found murdered, Anna Dawson thinks it's her lucky day. Until she's questioned as a possible suspect. She has an alibi, but not one she's willing to divulge--helping college basketball star Raymond Joseph shave points is not exactly something you share with the cops.

And not just any cop, but Detective Jack Schiller, Anna's recent ex. A man who got a little too close, and seems intent on getting closer.

But the murder is the least of Anna's problems as the point-shaving becomes public and she must call on all her gambling skills to win this hand.
