Although nearly broke and without the support of his friends and family, Denn thinks his new life in Vegas is about to change when he falls for a casino dealer named Cattie, but between her secret and his desire to get his hands on the fee to get into the big poker tournament, Denn's failure to see the obvious may be his greatest downfall.

Denn Doyle is not a gambler. Gamblers come to Vegas to throw their money at people like Denn, a prodigious investor in his own ability to read "tells" and calculate odds. Armed with a fake ID, the 17-year-old is up nearly a quarter million and almost unbeatable at the table. That is, until he falls for Cattie Hart, a troublesome redhead whose nimble bottom-dealing^B soon lands Denn in dangerous financial and emotional straits. Can Denn stick it to his old enemy, Artie Kingston, in a million-dollar Texas Hold 'Em tournament, or will he have to skulk back home penniless? In this follow-up to No Limit (2005), Hautman nails the heady buzz of winning and the gut-shot numbness of losing it all on the last turn, calling the action with all the deftness of a dealer flipping cards: sharp, fast, and effortless. The love story has about as much drama and chemistry as a date with a video slot machine, making it clear that the real romance here is between Denn and the cards. A quick, slick read for wannabe sharks. Ian Chipman
