    About this ebook

    Leia Carlisle can't tell anyone her secret.

    After a debilitating ski injury, Leia loses her job as an airline pilot and turns to gambling for its empowering adrenaline rush. But the more she gambles, the more Leia thrives on the rush of euphoric wins until her obsession consumes her.

    If she doesn't overcome this addiction, the game will destroy her family, her faith—and her life.
