Very good.But, I also have a little bit of a problem with placing bets on a sporting events. Not so good. Sometimes my little problem becomes a whole lot of trouble and I need to resort to some, shall we say, less than stellar actions to get out of debt. So, I become my alter ego, JoJo, and fix college basketball games. Hey, a victimless crime, no one's the wiser, and it's better than the alternative, which is a drive into the desert with my loan shark and a shovel in the trunk. Although, it has to be said, my loan shark is pretty good looking. I love Vegas, and I love the life I've built, but when one of my friends is murdered, and another one shot at, I know I need to take a serious look at myself. And I need to call in the big guns. Even if that means teaming up with detective Jack Schiller, a man who's dealing with his own problems. But dang, he sure is sexy. I'm just trying to juggle protecting my friends, helping sexy detective Jack while not letting him get to close, and finding a murderer. And, oh yeah, no one can learn about JoJo. Because if they do, there's no way I'll be able to bluff my way out. less

Anna Dawson is back. Unfortunately so is JoJo. When the loan shark enforcer who beat her 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... moreAnna Dawson is back. Unfortunately so is JoJo. When the loan shark enforcer who beat her 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. less
