Today I have my spotlight on The Vegas Gambler by Adriana Kraft. This is
Meghan’s
Playhouse Book 5, a new release from Extasy books
ABOUT VEGAS
GAMBLER
Too old?
Baby boomers. Is that you? This year, the youngest baby
boomers turn 54. Um, and hubs and I aren’t among the youngest. So when we write
an erotic romance hero in his 50s, it's just our way of saying Rock On!
In our Meghan’s Playhouse series, we’ve written two heroes
over fifty. The series follows our sprite of a heroine, Meg Keenan, for a
decade, starting in her early twenties. Her main squeeze in A Woman for Zachary (book 2) is
something of a sugar daddy who helps her get her start on Broadway. In turn,
she helps him finally recognize the love of his life, her drama coach.
By book 5 (Vegas Gambler) she’s a successful actress, and
she’s enjoying the company of another older man. Of course, what happens in
Vegas stays in Vegas, but we think none of the four characters who get together
in Vegas Gambler is aware of all the games being played…
BLURB
Time off in Vegas with
her latest squeeze? Nothing could be better—unless maybe Meg adds another
woman, or perhaps another man as well. What happens in Vegas…
Fresh with success from a recent stint in a musical on the
Las Vegas Strip, Meghan Keenan takes some time off to play with her current
flame, Jack Hawthorne, professional poker player. She’s delighted to add her
petite masseuse Tia Minh to the mix and even more thrilled when she learns
Tia’s relationship with her boyfriend Tony Sanders is on the skids. It’s the
perfect challenge!
Tia has different ideas—she thinks Tony would be perfect for
Meg, and she conspires to throw them together any way she can.
Ever the gambler, Jack catches on to Tia’s game quickly and
keeps the ruse going behind Meg’s back. Who knew his heart was up for grabs?
EXCERPT
Meg kept her
gaze fixed on Jack Hawthorne, who sat across from her at the small round wicker
table. He was paying half attention to her and half to the solitaire cards
spread out before him. She tried her best to decipher Jack’s response to her
announcement that she’d be entertaining Tia on Sunday.
Not for the
first time, she wished she hadn’t given up her own condo when she’d agree to
extend her Vegas stay eight weeks or so after the show closed to help with the
local community theater and to frolic with Jack, whom she’d grown to like and
admire a lot. Still, he was a professional poker player and an expert at
concealing his emotions. “So it doesn’t bother you,” she pressed on, “that I’ve
made plans with my former masseuse?”
Jack looked
up from the cards to stare at her. His dark eyes softened. With one hand he
swiped at a lock of black hair that often threatened his brow. “Why should it?
You’re your own woman. I don’t have a brand on you. I know you’ve been with
other women during your time in Vegas. Why should this one matter to me any
more than any other?”
“Because
I’ve never invited a girl to your place,” Meg huffed. “I do wish I’d kept my
apartment.”
“Nonsense.
That would’ve been a waste. Besides, I like waking up with you at my side.”
