• Deuces Wild: Beginners' Luck (book one)

 


Slap's ranch was his pride and joy, a place where he could raise his family and live a simple life. But when the notorious gangster Lyssel destroyed everything he held dear, Slap's world was reduced to charred remains. He was left with nothing but a thirst for revenge.

 
Tristan, on the other hand, had no attachments or expectations in life. He trusted no one and survived by his wits, finding entertainment in taunting his enemies, especially Lyssel. But when fate brings Slap and Tristan together, they realize they have a common enemy and become unlikely allies.

 
Forced to work together against Lyssel and his mob, Slap and Tristan must navigate through danger and betrayal to escape the planet alive. But with their conflicting personalities and mistrust for each other, can they put aside their differences long enough to survive?
