Betting On Ruby

Love is the ultimate gamble… especially in Sin City.

In the glittering, treacherous heart of Las Vegas—where neon dreams collide with dangerous realities—two souls from opposite worlds are about to risk everything on a love that defies all odds.

Eric is a meticulous accountant who lives by spreadsheets, schedules, and sensible choices. His life in Las Vegas is quiet, predictable, and safe—until the night he locks eyes with Ruby Moretti.

Ruby is anything but safe. The stunning, fiercely independent daughter of Angelo Moretti, a ruthless mafia boss who rules the opulent Velvet Spade Casino with an iron fist. Raised in a world of power, secrets, and danger, Ruby refuses to be just her father’s “protected little girl.” With a blonde bombshell exterior and a razor-sharp mind, she’s determined to claim her own power—even if it means playing the most dangerous game in town.

When their paths collide amid the clinking coins and high-stakes tension of the Velvet Spade, sparks fly—and so do the risks. Eric is pulled into Ruby’s world of underground poker rings, shadowy deals, and ever-present threats. For the first time, he dares to live beyond the numbers… and bet everything on her.

But love in Las Vegas comes with a price. With the mafia watching their every move and betrayal lurking behind every neon-lit corner, Eric and Ruby must decide:

Is true love worth risking it all?
