Did you love House of Diamonds? Then you should read House of Hearts by Amber Jakeman!
Opposites attract in House of Hearts, a romance with an international flavour set on the edge of Las Vegas.
Gambling addiction therapist Dr Lisa Bakker, 28, never breaks rules, but her bad boy client Will Huntley, 29, good-looking youngest heir to an Australian jewelry business, breaks them all.
The one rule neither can ignore is the American Psychological Association's two-year dating ban between clients and therapists.
From feel-good fiction author Amber Jakeman comes House of Hearts, the latest odern love tale in her fast-paced House of Jewels series.
Will has been breaking hearts and wasting time and the family fortunes in too many casinos. Broke and hungry in Vegas, he ends up in Lisa's clinic because the food is free.
Hr surprises himself by complying with his treatment and making rapid progress.
Deeply impressed with Lisa's statuesque beauty, kindness and expertise, he shifts the focus of all their sessions to her own needs.
Will says he has complete faith in Lisa's ability to help him find a better path, but she is not so sure.
Well may he call her his Queen of Hearts.
. , and decides to set up an adventure store in her town, nearby Boulder City, and try his luck settling down with her. Will calls Lisa his Queen of Hearts, the real deal who makes him feel lucky.
Lisa never would have considered becoming involved with a client, particularly a womanising gambler, likely to relapse, but they draw closer when Will helps Lisa rescue her dog; closer still when Lisa's boss asks her to take Will skyrunning with her; and then close enough to almost kiss during a psychometric test.
Realising she's transgressing, conscientious Lisa marches herself into the boss's office and offers to resign. She's given a stern warning, then urgently called back to the midwest to see her dying father.
Will finishes at the clinic and is photographed at Jupiters casino with two young women. On her way back to Vegas, Lisa sees them featured on the cover of Your Celebrity. Jealous and furious, Lisa counsels herself to forget him.
To win Lisa's lasting love and respect, Will knows he must build his business and stay out of trouble. He'd hate to ruin her career.
The more respectable Will becomes, the more Lisa longs for him, while bound to keep her attraction to him secret.
Has Will become addicted to Lisa? Will this playboy ever win his Queen of Hearts?
