  Luck, skill, and danger collide in The Five of Hearts, the latest chapter in the Solitaire Series. 
  For professional card counter Burt, gambling isn’t a pastime—it’s a calculated job with high stakes and no room for error. His flashy style and sharp mind have kept him a step ahead of casino security for years, but when he draws too much attention at a Solitaire-owned casino, his luck takes a turn. 
  Dragged into a world he barely understands, Burt encounters Jack—a scarred, mysterious figure whose reputation is as lethal as it is legendary. As tension escalates and danger looms, Burt must navigate a deadly game where survival hinges on more than skill and luck. 
  Will Burt cash out while he still can, or will Solitaire’s powerful grip deal him a final, losing hand?

  Hot flashes in my forties? Expected. Waking up psychic? Not in my wildest dreams.  
  My name is Erin Stone. I’m forty-three with a daughter away at college and a successful career as a communications officer with the 911 dispatch center for the Toronto Police Service. My life had just returned to a new normal after my divorce and everything was going along smoothly. Then BOOM! Turns out the universe had other plans for me. 
  I dreamed of a plane crash—only it wasn’t just a dream. The crash happened in real life. Eighty-three dead. A vision, plain and simple. Not exactly. My family certainly wouldn’t understand. And me…psychic? I’d dabbled in new-age spirituality in the past but never plunged into the deep end. Now I’m in over my head. 
  Why was I given this vision, and does it hold clues as to what caused the crash? My best friend, Trish, is convinced it does, and a handsome stranger with the National Transportation Safety Board is willing to partner with me to solve the mystery. But if I’m going to embrace the vision as telling of newfound psychic abilities, I will need to keep my paranormal gift a secret from my daughter, brother, and aunt. Little good that might do them though. 
  Someone out there has their own secrets and is willing to go to great lengths to protect them. Now the very gift I was given has put the lives of my loved ones at risk. Will my psychic abilities be strong enough to save them? 
  This work of paranormal women’s fiction features a strong-willed heroine in her forties with enough baggage to check some, along with a heavy dose of magic and a splash of romance.
