Stiles Long emphatically did not want his lover, Michael O'Leary to go on the assignment he had been given. He didn't care that Michael was an amazing poker player or that his commander thought Michael was the perfect man for the job. He almost lost Michael once. He couldn't go through that again. Michael needed this. He needed to prove that he was able to take care of himself. He didn't need Stiles to take care of him.
He needed to be Stiles' equal. The poker game in Durango, Colorado was his chance to prove that. The fact that Stiles didn't want him to go didn't matter. Michael had to do this. Lizzie Ferguson was Stiles partner in the Pinkerton Agency. She was a good agent. That didn't mean, she had to like being dressed in satin and lace, showing way too much of her body to total strangers. Lizzie knew there was more going on at Maverick's Saloon, and it might just cost her life.
None of them suspected that a simple poker game would turn into a deadly nightmare. If the three of them weren't careful, one of them might just end up the next victim.
