I'm in negotiation with the Albanian mob. They think I'm going to stand with them against the others. They're wrong. Atlantic City is my town… or at least it's going to be. And then I see her across a crowded bar at one of the city's best casinos.
When Axel saves me from a drunk at the Blue Eye, I let myself have a wonderful weekend of indulgence and pleasure. When Axel wants me for arm candy at a high stakes poker game I figure why not?
Only that poker game is about far more than I knew and now I'm caught up in it with no way out.
