Slow Play
A Romantic Comedy by A.M. Morrell
Sometimes the biggest gamble… is love.
Jessica Jaynes knows how to read people. At the poker table, she’s disciplined, sharp, and impossible to rattle. But after heartbreak and loss, she’s done taking chances on anything she can’t control—especially relationships.
Then Nick Russo crashes into her life.
Nick is reckless, charming, and chasing a dream that’s always just one hand away: making it to the World Series of Poker. He lives on instinct, momentum, and impossible optimism—the exact opposite of Jessica in every way that matters.
Unfortunately, chemistry doesn’t care about logic.
As late-night tournaments turn into road trips, shared bankrolls, and dangerous emotional territory, Jessica and Nick find themselves risking far more than money. But poker rewards confidence… and punishes hesitation. When pride, ambition, and fear collide, the stakes rise fast.
Because in poker—and love—sometimes the strongest move is knowing when not to fold.
