Rolling the Dice by Alessandra Torre

As a storm brewed, I gambled the most valuable possession I had: my heart.
There was a reason I was handcuffed to the bed, chocolate syrup smeared over my body. Dario Capece was getting married, and if he thought he’d ditch me to marry some rich Vegas bitch, he had another thing coming.

I was taking my revenge in the best way possible: his best friend. Seduction was a new game for me, but thankfully, Trip Reinnet was good at reading signs and delivering orgasms. While a hurricane gathered force and moved closer, I played a risky game of love, luck, and passion, with my most valuable possession up for grabs: my heart.

Rolling the Dice is a standalone novella, set in Biloxi, Mississippi, that is set ten years before the events in Even Money. It can be read on its own.
