She counts every penny. He bets fortunes on a single turn of the card. Neither expected the gamble that comes with falling in love.

Eden Rivera has one goal: protect Seabright Shores, the sleepy Florida beach town that saved her when her father’s gambling addiction tore their family apart. As the town’s meticulous accountant, she lives by ledgers, schedules, and zero‑risk decisions—until the day a private seaplane glides onto the bay.

Grayson “Gray” Beaumont III—better known on Wall Street as the Prince of Casinos—arrives with plans to transform Seabright’s beloved, rundown hotel into Florida’s first luxury resort‑casino. The project promises jobs and glimmering profits, but Eden sees only flashing slot machines, broken families, and the ruin of everything she loves. Their very first handshake feels like a spark... and a slap.

Forced to work together on a thirty‑day audit, Eden and Gray wage a war of barbed one‑liners, breathtaking near‑misses, and stolen midnight glances on the moonlit pier. Every clash fans the chemistry neither of them will admit—and every page crackles with the slow‑burn tension of two sworn enemies who can’t stop thinking about that one forbidden kiss.

When a rival corporation threatens to sink Gray’s dream and bankrupt the town in the process, the billionaire who always plays to win will risk his entire fortune—and his guarded heart—to prove that Eden can trust him with her community, her future, and a love that doesn’t keep score.
