Iβm so excited to be starting 2019 with the first book in my
new series Jokers Wild. Β
ONE NIGHT
GAMBLE is a sexy, emotional story that proves that we make our own luck. I love setting
books in Las Vegas because I like playing around the idea of illusion that what you see isnβt
whatβs really on the inside. Β And no city typifies that for me more than Sin City! My hero and
heroine both grew up in Las Vegas and have seen the seamier side of the city. Their
childhoods were very different and yet they both were shaped by them into the person we see
today. Β
Casey took a gamble on himself when he left the group
home he was living in and struck out on his own. Β He was determined that with his belief in
himself and the luck he made he could make a fortune using only his skills with cards and his
ability to read people. Β Heβs done it. Heβs made more money than anyone ever expected him to
and heβs one of the top poker players in the world.
When he meets Talia he takes another risk. Β Sheβs different,
she works for him, but he wants her. Β And he likes her. She could be someone for him to lavish
all of his earnings on, exceptβ¦she hates gamblers.
Casey has never just stopped bluffing and let himself be and
he knows in order to win Talia over heβs going to have to, but the only version of himself he
likes is the world famous poker player. Β And thatβs not enough for her.
This book was so much fun to write. I really enjoyed using
gambling and luck and fate as elements in the story.
In my personal life, I love playing poker around the kitchen
table with my family but I donβt like playing in casinos. Β They just arenβt for me. What about
you?
Iβm giving away an e-book copy of
ONE NIGHT GAMBLE and a deck of
ONE NIGHT GAMBLE playing cards!
Joker's Wild #1
Talia Spencerβs life is the epitome of boring and predictable. But then
she meets himβ¦
The first time she meets Casey Waltham, sheβs buying condomsβ¦for
her grandmother. And of course drops them accidentally at his feet.
Face plant.
The second time she sees him, sheβs this close to landing her dream
job and is celebrating at a club. Two chance encounters in the same
day--thatβs got to be a sign, right?
Heβs charming and flirty and just what Talia needs for the night.
But it was just supposed to be a hook-up. At least, thatβs what she
thought...until he turns out to be her new boss...

Katherine Garbera is the
USA Today national best-selling author of more than
75 books. Writing is the chief focus of her time after her family and the only thing she likes
more than working on her own books is reading other authors. She is a frequent speaker at
conferences and loves the opportunity to talk about writing with anyone who'll listen.
Garbera started making up stories for her own benefit when she was on a competitive swim
team in high school. Though she went to State and usually medaled at swim meets, Katherine
says her heart wasn't in swimming but rather in the stories she created as she swam laps at
practice.
She worked for The Walt Disney World Company for 15 years and did everything from being a
hostess on It's a Small World, to saving swimmers at the Grand Floridian Resort, to touring
around VIPs such as Jack Valenti at the Disney-MGM Studios and being a production page on
the New Mickey Mouse Club--yes, it might be possible that Britney, Justine and Christina owe
her a nod of thanks for keeping all those kids who had to go to the bathroom from interrupting
their performances.
A Florida native who grew up to travel the globe, Katherine now makes her home in the
Midlands of the UK with her husband, two children and a very spoiled miniature dachshund.
I don't gamble, but I do enjoy watching others while they are trying to beat the odds.

I like betting at the horse races. I have it figured out to where I usually win but
nothing big.
