Mallory Devereaux is one sassy leading lady in this off-
beat novel set in Royal Flush, Louisiana. She's quite
a "looker," which makes up for her notorious reputation for
causing bad luck. It also serves her well working on her
uncle's casino boat, especially when she's asked to "cool
cards" for a tournament of gamblers of questionable
character.
Every leading lady needs a guy and Mallory's is a handsome
undercover agent posing as a card dealer named Jake
Randoll. It doesn't take her long to think about getting
this undercover agent, well...under the covers. Mix in a
cast
of characters with no scruples, a little romance, a touch
of deceit and it is game on for UNLUCKY.
The setting for this novel is differently refreshing, and
anyone with an affinity for casinos and card playing will
enjoy the game references. Readers of Ms. DeLeon's UNLUCKY
will consider themselves very lucky to have stumbled upon
such an entertaining read.
Everyone in Royal Flush, Louisiana, knows Mallory Devereaux
is a walking disaster. At least now she's found a way to
take advantage of her chronic bad luck: by "cooling" cards
on her uncle's casino boat. As long as the crooks invited to
his special poker tournament don't win their money back,
she'll get a cut of the profit.
But Mal isn't the only one working some major mojo. There's
a dark-eyed dealer sending her looks steamier than the bayou
in August. Turns out he's an undercover agent named Jake
Randoll, and for a Yank, he's pretty darn smart. Smart
enough to enlist her help to catch a money launderer. As
they race to untangle a web of decades-old lies and secrets
amid a gathering of criminals, Mallory can't help hoping her
luck's about to change....
