Ruthless mastermind.
Destroyer of men.

She is society's darling . . .

Florence Greene is no one's fool. She knows Clayton Madden is using her to ruin her prestigious family . . . and she's using him right back. She plans to learn all she can from the mysterious casino owner--then open a casino of her own just for women.
