Four sisters named after royalty, with dowries fit for a queen. Their Gypsy fortuneteller mother predicted each would marry a prince…of sorts.She’s a princess with more to lose than her dowry.
Las Vegas restaurateur Grace Parlier doesn’t gamble, but she’s risking her dowry on a new business with her late father’s friend because casino owner Charles Harmon has what she wants: location, location, … owner Charles Harmon has what she wants: location, location, location. The money may have been earmarked for a wedding, but everyone knows Grace has terrible taste in men. Look at the way her heart races every time her family’s latest Romani rescue comes close. But how could an ex-con from Detroit possibly be the prince she was meant to marry?
He’s a Detroit cop with no skin in the game—or so he wants to believe.
Nick Lightner goes undercover in Vegas for one reason only: to take down scumbag Charles Harmon. Does he believe Lucky Chuck is a human serpent threatening his birth father’s family? Hell, no. Nick knows who he is and where his allegiance lies. Certainly not with a sexy “princess” who makes the few drops of Romani blood in his veins run hotter than a winning streak at the craps table. His heart maintains a safe distance…until the princess takes a bullet meant for him, then all bets are off.

Great start to a new series!
This book is the first in Debra Salonen’s new Betting on Love series. And what a wonderful beginning! I loved the mix of romance, intrigue and humour throughout this book! I really enjoyed reading about a Romani family with all their quirks, perceptions and abilities, and their love for each other. This series is going to be a fun ride! My only downside was the number of characters and how they were related and to whom. Although, I assume this is the way a large family like this would be, I could use a family tree. I can’t wait now for book 2!
I received an ARC copy of this book and am voluntarily reviewing it.
Wow! What a start to a new series. This book has everything we have come to expect from Debra Salonen – well written characters who spring to life, romance and a suspenseful plot with many twists and turns. I have to start a Debra Salonen book early in the day or I will be up all night because I can never put her books down. Betting on Love promises to be a great series. I hate to wait for the next story!
