LOVE IS A GAMBLE by HELEN Colella

Young bank executive Amanda Conifer is a free-spirited, independent, contemporary woman who believes in family and all its traditions, friendship and its loyalty, the existence of true love, and that everything happens for a reason. But when she becomes the target of a secret, unscrupulous group of businessmen determined to establish a new gambling mecca in her hometown of Crestview, Colorado, Amanda soon learns how unpredictable and fragile love and life is. Following a barrage of violent acts, intimidation, destruction, lies and deceptions, she watches her world turn inside out and upside-down. Greed, evil and a series of bizarre incidents invade her privacy, threaten her relationship with the love of her life, put her in danger and lead her to question everyone and everything. Confused and disheartened, she’s forced to reevaluate herself, and those she loves, respects, and trusts most. She struggles to understand the overwhelming circumstances that have evolved and bruised the matters of her heart. All she can do is ask, “Will I survive?”
