Overview

The heat of the Las Vegas summer is just too much to handle, especially when you're stuck playing hand after hand with your rival.

Fresh from a devastating breakup, Jax Bass wants one thing and one thing only: to win the Women's International Poker Tournament and the two million dollar prize. She's less than pleased to find her rival, Miri, standing in her way.

Miri Black is tired of online hecklers dismissing her as an airhead, and would love nothing more than to win the tournament for herself. Only knocking out her biggest threat, Jax, would make this even sweeter.

Unfortunately for the two of them, they can't stop bickering with each other long enough to focus on the prize at hand. After a fellow contestant gets sick of the Jax and Miri show, both women are forced to answer the question: could there be something more between them?

With the highest of stakes up for grabs, each must decide if she can trust her heart or risk it all for the biggest pot of them all.
