Summary
Angel has spent the last four years living on the Vegas Strip, defending his tumultuous relationship with the powerful producer Valentino and convincing himself it’s as glamorous as it seems. But when a rare chance to escape arises, he seizes it, only to land in a chaotic altercation at the Velvet Spade, a rundown casino far from the Strip’s glittering lights. Now, bound by a contract to repay his debt, Angel has no choice but to work for the Spade’s stoic owner, Husk.
What begins as a desperate attempt to lay low and reclaim his freedom evolves into something far deeper. As Angel forges an unlikely bond with Husk, they work to breathe life back into the struggling casino and, in the process, begin to rebuild their broken selves.
But Valentino isn’t one to let go of what he considers his. As Angel’s past comes closing in, he and Husk must confront their deepest fears, risking everything to protect what they’ve built—and each other. In a city where the odds are always stacked, Angel and Husk discover that the greatest gamble of all is believing in themselves and each other.
