A former Marine and Las Vegas vice cop, Nathan Fox has seen it all and then some. Heading up security for the Onyx Casino is tame compared to his dark past, but it’s not his only job. Working for the Reliance Group is his real passion project. His current case: a missing woman. His mission: to find her. Easy enough, until he finds himself tangled up with sexy Nicole Hutton, a stubborn—and … stubborn—and stunning—journalist who’s nosed her way into his investigation . . . and into his dirty, erotic fantasies.
Resisting Nicole is impossible, and he soon discovers that in this dangerous high stakes game of chance, falling in love is the greatest risk of all.

There were times while reading this book I found myself holding my breath.
OMG!!!! I couldn’t put it down. Erika’s characters are so real. The story makes you feel like you’re right there with them. Plenty of action. Sex. Bad guys. A real nail biter.

*VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED THIS BOOK*
Omg! Talk about an edge of your seat, action packed story that I could not put down. I think I would classify this story as a dark romantic suspense. My heart definitely got a work out reading Game of Chance. This story was very suspenseful and it was kind of dark in that the subject matter of the case Nathan is involved in is unpleasant and would probably make every reader really despise the villain in the story. But in between this crazy suspenseful action, there’s the love story between Nathan and Nicole. Their individual pasts were pretty emotional and really got to me. But I loved the way their relationship developed. Their meeting was cute. Their chemistry was smoking hot which translated to some really good sexy moments. Nicole was a bit stubborn at times but it worked for the story. Nathan was just yummy and really wonderful. They made a really good team in and out of the bedroom. Now that my heart rate is back to normal, I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
