High Stakes

By award-winning author Chad Strong…

The dusty streets of Victoria are abuzz with whispers of Curt Prescott's legendary skills with cards, his name known to more than just those who frequent the smoky saloons. But for Curt, poker is more than just a game — it had been his ticket out of the poverty that had consumed his childhood. And with his beautiful girlfriend Del by his side, he feels unstoppable.

Until a new preacher and his zealous wife arrive in town, he determined to redeem lost souls and she to purge Victoria of those who refused to abandon their wickedness. As the townsfolk turn against Curt and his way of life, he finds himself at odds with the law and forced to make an unlikely alliance with a notorious criminal. But things only get more complicated when Del, consumed by her own jealousy, pushes Curt to publicly shame the preacher's idealistic daughter, Mary, to discredit the whole family.

Caught in a dangerous game with the highest stakes, Curt soon realizes that there's more to Mary than meets the eye. And as his feelings for her grow, Del's bitterness threatens to tear them all apart. With everything he holds dear hanging in the balance, Curt must use all his cunning and skill to outplay his opponents and come out on top.

For fans of westerns and historical romance, "High Stakes" is a must-read tale of love, betrayal, and high stakes action.
