Against the Odds: An Insta-Love Mafia Romance Novella

Lorraine

I run one of the most exclusive casinos on the Las Vegas Strip.
High rollers, hustlers, sharks…I know how to handle them all.

Then Valko walks in.

Tattooed knuckles. A dangerous reputation. A smile that makes my pulse skip. He’s mafia—allegedly. And when he looks at me, I feel it everywhere.

I don’t need a man. Not after my fiancé cheated with my best friend. I built my career by being cold, untouchable, and impossible to sway.

But Valko doesn’t play by anyone’s rules. He sends flowers, sweet gifts tied to details he shouldn’t even notice. He calls me doll like it’s a promise. And every time I push him away, he comes back stronger.

He’s trouble. The kind that could cost me everything I’ve worked for.
But when the biggest, baddest man in Vegas decides you’re his forever… how long can you really hold your ground?

They say the house always wins.
But against the odds, Valko might be my jackpot.
