About One-Eyed Royals

Spoiler Alert! The following blurb contains spoilers for Cash Plays, book three of Seven of Spades.

Shattered by their devastating breakup, Detective Levi Abrams and PI Dominic Russo find themselves at war right when they need each other most. While Dominic is trapped in a vicious cycle of addiction, Levi despairs of ever catching the Seven of Spades. The ruthless vigilante’s body count continues to climb, and it’s all Levi can do to keep up with the carnage.

When Levi’s and Dominic’s paths keep crossing in the investigation of a kidnapping ring with a taste for mutilation, it feels like history repeating itself. Thrown together by fate once again, they reluctantly join forces in their hunt for the mastermind behind the abductions.

But the Seven of Spades hates sharing the spotlight, and they have an ace in the hole: a new batch of victims with a special connection to Levi. Their murders send shockwaves through Las Vegas and change the rules of the game forever.

The Seven of Spades has upped the ante. If Levi and Dominic don’t play their cards right, they’ll end up losing everything.

About the Seven of Spades Series

Las Vegas has never seen a serial killer like the Seven of Spades.

The self-styled vigilante is on a mission to cut down the wicked and treacherous, and Sin City has no shortage of targets for their bloody wrath. What happens in Vegas . . . ends with the Seven of Spades’s calling card on a grisly corpse.

Standing against the killer are Levi Abrams, a dedicated homicide detective locked in a constant struggle to restrain his own dark side, and bounty hunter Dominic Russo, a charming rogue with a heavy secret weighing on his shoulders.

The hunt for the Seven of Spades sends Levi and Dominic on a collision course, igniting a passionate relationship forged in conflict and sealed with blood. Together they’re stronger than the sum of their parts, but a wily, elusive serial killer isn’t the only threat that will strain their bond to the breaking point.

Ante up, because the Seven of Spades is all in. Are you?

Dominic suppressed a groan as the dealer raked the pot toward a player on the opposite side of the poker table. Down another half a grand—he was seriously off his game tonight. At this rate, even Saturday night tips at Stingray wouldn’t cover his losses—

No, no. He’d had a run of bad luck, which only meant he was due for some good cards. He could feel the turn coming. All he had to do was chase it down.

His phone vibrated in his pocket, and since they were between hands, he went ahead and checked it. He frowned when he saw Martine’s name on the screen. She wouldn’t call him at night—unless something was wrong with Levi.

He signaled the dealer that he would sit out the next hand and hurried away from the table, toward the door where reception was better. “What’s wrong?” he said by way of greeting.

Martine didn’t call him on his rudeness. “We have a big problem.”

He listened in growing dismay as she filled him in on the day’s events. “Is Levi okay?” he asked when she finished, already knowing the answer.

“I haven’t even gotten to the worst part,” she said grimly. “Wen took him off the Seven of Spades case altogether.”

Dominic’s breath stalled in his chest. “No. Christ, Martine, that’s gonna kill him! You have to talk Wen out of it.”

“I tried! I argued with him for over an hour. Even Leila gave it a shot, and you know what she’s like. His mind’s made up. The only reason he let Levi stay on the case this long was because Agent Chaudhary recommended it. But now that Levi has a personal connection to the victims . . .”

“Do you know where Levi is right now?”

“Natasha arranged for him to spend the rest of the day with Adriana.”

Dominic’s shoulders sagged with slight relief. No matter what his mental state, Levi would never let harm come to Adriana, who he loved like a little sister. Her presence would ensure he stayed in control of himself.

“You should call him,” said Martine.

“I’d only make things worse.”

“Dominic—”

“Levi doesn’t trust me anymore,” he bit out. “He wouldn’t want me to see him vulnerable like this.”

“I think you’re wrong,” she said, but she didn’t try to persuade him further. Once she promised to keep him updated, they hung up. As Dominic hit the button to end the call, his eyes fell on the phone’s clock.

“Oh, fuck,” he said, so loudly he startled several people nearby. He’d completely lost track of time, and now he was going to be late for work at Stingray.
