Play Me by Jennifer Probst
A 1 Night Stand Story
Professional gambler Sloane Keller is tired of dating weak
willed men and longs to meet a man who challenges her dominant personality and
forces her to submit. As the Queen of Cards, she’s used to making her own
rules, and craves the excitement of Vegas. But her inner heart cries out for
someone who can be her match, both inside the casino and in the bedroom.
As the new dealer in town, Roman Steele is burnt out on
women looking for a quick penny and a man to follow. He craves a woman with
fire in her soul and a keen intellect who can challenge him. When his brother
recruits Madame Eve to help, Rome is amazed at the complicated woman he gets to
spend the night with. But when the evening is over, will she be gutsy enough to
offer him forever?

~Excerpt~
Walking past the bar, he headed toward table six. He needed to loosen
up and not take the encounter too seriously. His older brother had
bought him an evening with a woman—hopefully one he was compatible with.
No reason to bitch and look the proverbial gift horse in the mouth.He stopped dead and stared at the woman in black at table six.
Her name suddenly rang through his head in a symphony of clanging bells. Sloane Keller. Champion of the World Series of Poker. The Queen of Cards.
His mouth snapped shut. Was this a joke? A revised version of Candid Camera? He’d been half in love with her since she’d stumbled on the card scene with a cold confidence that pissed everyone off. She’d come from behind and won her first poker championship with the big boys. An unknown, unnamed long shot everyone expected to laugh out of the game. With icy deliberation and, she knocked every other player off the table and never batted an eyelash with victory.
Shit. She’s gorgeous.
His gaze swept over her with a greediness he’d never experienced. The woman practically exuded I dare you to any guy within distance. Her hair shimmered under the lights, an exotic black cherry, falling pin straight to brush the top of her shoulders. Longish bangs hid most of her features until she turned her head, and he caught a whirling impression of strength. A stubborn chin. High cheekbones. Arched dark brows. Thick eyelashes. Her lips were ruby red and not overly puffy like the normal Botox look. No, they were perfectly sculpted with just a hint of plumpness in the lower one. Her outfit added to the impression of lean power—a sleeveless black silk blouse, dark trousers, low-heeled sandals. She perched on the chair as she stared at her cards, her blood red toenails tapping on the bottom rung. Her fingers were lightning quick, the nails matching the color of her toes.
Suddenly, she paused. Her shoulders tightened and she swung her head around with a hint of annoyance. Her gaze slammed into his with a fierceness and challenge that singed his nerve endings and his cock. Eyes a bottomless violet sucked him in as deep as he imagined her wet pussy would welcome him. But it wouldn’t be easy. Everything about the woman screamed the need for an alpha to take her under him. Figuratively and literally.
He met her stare dead on and refused to back down. A few beats passed. Then she turned away with a dismissive shake of her head, obviously irritated she’d lost the skirmish. Satisfaction thrummed in his veins. Finally. A woman he could sink his teeth into without worrying. I bet this woman would bite back.

This is the author's second book in her Stelle Brothers 1NS Series. Catch Me is the first book, I do recommend reading that one first.
It's was easy to find myself getting lost in Play Me. Sloane is a strong willed woman on top of her game who is used to getting what she wants, but she longs to have a man challenge her so she seeks our Madam Eve.
Roman needs a woman who will challenge him both in and out of the bedroom. His brother arranges a 1 Night Stand for him.
The tension and attraction between Roman and Sloane is instant. With their hearts at stake, will they play against the odds or fold?
I give Play Me 5 out of 5 stars!
