Seven-Card Stud // Dead Man's Hand — Ava Drake

<p><b><i>A Stud Games Novel</i></b></p><p>Temptation, peril, and dirty poker.</p>
<p>Love is a high-stakes game.</p>
<p>When Collin Callahan, British secret agent, goes up against math genius turned surfer bum Oliver Elliot, the battle is epic -- and so is the attraction. They're pitted against each other in an exclusive, ultra-secret -- and ultra-illegal -- poker match in Gibraltar, but when players start dying and they could be next, they find a common goal: catch the killer before it's too late.</p>
<p>Evenly matched at poker and romance, they each wrestle personal demons that threaten to consume them as the stakes climb. It's an all-or-nothing gamble with both life and love on the line as they fight to be the last seven-card studs standing.</p>
