All In: A Novel

Cami Taylor: queen of reinvention. The road to Cami’s dreams started at the River Bend casino where she dealt blackjack and created Jackie the protagonist of her debut novel Double Down Blues. Jackie was everything Cami was not: reckless sensuous pretty and thin an alter ego Cami emulated enthusiastically. Blues became a surprise bestseller and the former Leona Camille Lingo a bookish overweight schoolgirl from Phoenix became Cami Taylor an attractive sophisticated author living in New York. The transformation was complete. Cami’s boyfriend Joel wants to marry her buy a house on Long Island and raise a family―a life that isn’t even close to Cami’s idea of happiness. Her therapist suggests compromise and trust but Cami bolts like a deer. She breaks off her eighteen-month relationship with Joel and embarks on a course she believes will secure her future happiness. But a nasty surprise waits around the corner one she should’ve seen coming. Cami finds herself squared off against an enemy that isn’t impressed by her cynicism her stubbornness or her reinvention. What follows is a fight to the death but who will be the one left standing?
