Excerpt
The private room had no clocks. Only felt, chips, and the kind of quiet money prefers. Sloane sat down across from Dominic Kade and watched him shuffle like the deck owed him answers. He looked at her once, long enough to make the table feel smaller, then said, Deal. As if they were already past the part where either of them could walk away clean.
