Somehow he was always thinking he was only one bet away.Funny how hopes can become regrets.Jake didn't need any more problems. Gold in the ground is what Jake needed - and fast. He had less than a week to repay a LA bookie two-hundred grand when he met up with his ex-fiancée Baby Doll in Vegas.She vowed to help him. He promised to marry her.Finally, there was the old scent of familiar skin, the tugging of each other's clothes and then a long and slow kiss. It was a moment that felt like years, decades and a life time. It was a kiss worth more to two lovers than all of the gold in the ground.That's how Jake Breen last remembered Baby Doll.She was pregnant the night before he was going to marry her. In trouble with her drug cartel the morning he found her dead.
