My summary: Jericho Forge is a billionaire and no doors are ever closed to him, especially not the ones to a private poker game at Jean Philippe’s casino. When he finds out there is a game he wasn’t invited to, he shows up to find out who was trying to hide it from him. Forge bursts into the game, to the dismay of India Baptiste. India swore she’d never gamble in desperation again, but she has ten days to come up with $10 million or else. She handpicked the line-up for the game, which definitely did not include Forge. When things go wrong, India ends up making the biggest gamble of her life with Forge—herself. What starts as a way for Forge to finally get revenge against his nemesis Bastian DeVere ends up becoming more with India.
My thoughts: If you like billionaire, anti-hero, forced marriage romances, then get to reading (or listening) to this one. It nails all of these tropes. I did not love the female narrator of this audiobook, but I did enjoy the male narrator. It does end on a cliffhanger, which I expect with Meghan March’s trilogies, so I already have the next two lined up.
