Up the Ante - by Pj Trebelhorn (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Jordan Stryker's multiple sclerosis diagnosis changed her life. She left the FBI and decided to try her hand at professional poker. She's played poker for years, but no amount of practice could have prepared her for what she'd face in Las Vegas away from the tables.

Ashley Noble works security at a casino in Vegas. After a failed marriage and a disgraced exit from her position with the LAPD, she's just grateful to have a job. When Stryker shows up in her casino, Ash is forced to face the woman she had an affair with fifteen years ago and thought she'd never see again.

The attraction between the two is undeniable, but Jordan keeps her distance because of her MS. When Ash decides she's ready to up the ante, she knows getting Jordan to call the bet will be damn near impossible.

About the Author

PJ Trebelhorn was born and raised in the greater metropolitan area of Portland, Oregon. Her love of sports--mainly baseball and ice hockey--was fueled in part by her father's interests. She likes to brag about the fact that her uncle managed the Milwaukee Brewers for five years, and the Chicago Cubs for one year.

PJ now resides in eastern Pennsylvania with Cheryl, her partner of many years, and their menagerie of pets--six cats, and one very neurotic dog. When not writing or reading, PJ spends her time rooting for the Flyers, Phillies, and Eagles, or watching movies.
