A Criminal Game: A Suspense Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781696075299)

Some games weren't meant to be played. Some games will get you killed.

The lights are bright in New York City, but after losing her husband three years ago, all Evie Diaz can see is her mission to keep life rock-steady for her young daughter-including holding on to their little Queens apartment, the beloved nanny, and her night manager position at a luxury Manhattan hotel. It isn't easy, and stroke after stroke of bad luck threatens to undo it all.

Her one reprieve from reality is liaising with a high-stakes poker game held at the hotel, where she hobnobs with movie stars and millionaires and can, for just a few minutes, escape. It doesn't hurt that player Kieran Carr, a handsome, confident art dealer, likes flirting with Evie as much as he likes playing poker.

But that all ends when trouble erupts at the game, evidence points to Evie as the culprit, and the betrayed host goes after her with a vengeance. Warned by Carr just in time, Evie runs, aided by the quietly protective hotel driver who secretly also harbors feelings for her. With the host on their heels threatening everyone Evie loves, they scramble to uncover the guilty party and clear Evie's name before she pays the ultimate price for a game she never intended to play.

If you enjoy can't-put-it-down suspense, smart, determined heroines and will-they-won't-they romance, you'll love USA TODAY bestselling author D.L. Wood's first book in The Criminal Collection, a series of stand-alone suspense novels.
