Ante Up (High Stakes, #1)

by Christina C. Jones

you might be used to from me. I’m going to be honest here – I’m terrified. Sick to my stomach, heart racing, terrified, but I can’t pinpoint exactly why. Of course I want you, the reader, to enjoy it. I want these characters to resonate, and I want to have represented them properly, and I want to have done them justice. I hope that I’ve delivered their story in a way that humanizes them for you as much as they were for me. I hope that nobody curses me out for where/how it ends LMBO! In many, many ways, this project has been an incredible

times right now, more than usual, and it’s my hope, as always, that the story contained here can offer you a few hours of escape, for whatever reason you might need it. I dedicate this to… you.
