Jennings Lee doesn't get attached. As a teenager, everyone she loved was taken from her, so she fled to Vegas to build a life for herself. Over twenty years later, all she has to show for her efforts is a stream of one-night stands, a poker career that never took off, and a gassy, destructive mutt.
Private Investigator Mitch Kline doesn't believe in marriage. With a mother who's been divorced more times than Liz Taylor, and his only attempt a disaster that almost ruined his career, he keeps his relationships light and uncomplicated. When his best friend sends him to find the sister he lost over twenty years ago, Mitch must track down a woman who doesn't want to be found and get her back across the country in time for her brother's wedding.
Neither is looking for the sparks that fly between them, and when Mitch's reckless youth intersects with Jennings's tragic past, his thirst for justice may threaten any future they hoped for.
