Reviews for High Stakes:
“This is a well-thought-out, layered historical that can be enjoyed by both male and female readers ... an incredibly accomplished first novel." ― Jill MacKenzie, InD'Tale Magazine |
The Stakes Couldn't be HigherGambler Curt Prescott's life is about to take a dangerous turn. Framed for a crime he didn't commit, Curt must fight to protect his reputation and his life. With two lowlifes out for his blood, two women out for his heart, and a tangled web of danger and romance, Curt must play his cards right or risk losing everything. 23-year-old Curt Prescott plays better poker than men twice his age. His skill raised him from a life of degradation on the streets to a comfortable living with his girl, saloon songstress, Del, in Victoria, BC. In the spring of 1877, a new preacher, his wife, and daughter, Mary, arrive. The preacher hopes to save the souls of Victoria’s “misguided”. His wife forms a committee to eradicate them. Curt must fight back with everything he has – including a plan to seduce Mary and shame the family. As a notorious criminal, and Del's jealous rages, threaten them all, Curt finds himself torn between Del and Mary, and his battle for his lifestyle becomes one of right and wrong, life and death, and love lost and found. High Stakes is a captivating and fast-paced western novel that will keep you hooked from start to finish. |
