About this book

He built an empire on control.

She was told she had no magic.

Vegas is about to prove them both wrong.

Charlotte “Charlie” Auvray arrives in Las Vegas broken, humiliated, and desperate to escape a family that never let her forget she’s the magicless witch. A disastrous spring break leaves her stranded in the city of luck and lies, clinging to the hope that anonymity might finally give her room to breathe.

What she doesn’t expect is Lucas Kane—the dangerously charismatic casino boss who runs the Lucky Heart Hotel & Casino.

Lucas clawed his way off the streets into power. Telekinetic, fiercely loyal, and deeply embedded in the Montanari crime organization, he knows how to manage risk. What he can’t control is the curse infecting his casino—blood running from showers, guests spiraling into madness, shadows moving where they shouldn’t.

Charlie sees it immediately.

Ghosts whisper. Shifters stalk the halls. Something ancient and hungry has claimed the Lucky Heart—and Charlie may be the only one who can stop it. As danger closes in and their fling turns into something far more dangerous, Charlie begins to realize her magic was never missing… only dormant.

But breaking the curse means choosing sides.

Lucas must risk his loyalty, his power, and his life.

Charlie must face the family—and destiny—she’s spent her life running from.

And love may be the deadliest bet of all.

High Stakes Mystery

April 22, 2026

This is a dark, atmospheric paranormal romance that blends supernatural horror with emotional growth. Charlie’s journey—from a “magicless” outcast to someone discovering her true power—anchors the story, while Lucas adds tension as a morally gray love interest torn between loyalty and love. The haunted casino setting stands out, with eerie details that keep the stakes high and the mystery engaging. While some tropes feel familiar, the strong character arcs and high-risk choices give the story...

Mystery, Romance, and Supernatural Intrigue

Great mix of Romance and Mystery

This is a little different than what I normally read, but nonetheless, I really enjoyed it. It had a good mix of romance and mystery. I chose it for the mystery element. The story takes place in a casino in Vegas, and from the beginning you can tell something isn’t right and I wanted to figure out what was really going on. I liked the multiple POV because it gave both sides of the story. The female main character was probably my favorite because she starts off unsure of herself, but I loved...
