Blurb:
Artist Samantha Cartwright arrives in Cat’s Paw Cove for a
visit with her great Aunt Emma, hoping to get clarity about Emma’s cryptic
prediction. Instead, Sam finds out she must mind her aunt’s metaphysical shop
while Emma is away on vacation. The temporary job proves impossible for Sam
because unlike Emma, Sam possesses no magical powers. Lucky for her, tall,
dark, and handsome help enters the shop just in the nick of time.
Eli Kincaid managed to get on the bad side of a ruthless loan shark. Now his life depends upon his ability to con an innocent woman out of the only thing of value she owns—a precious jewel she inherited. If he can get close to Sam, maybe he can figure out where she’s keeping the gem. What he hadn’t counted on was falling for his mark. Can he escape the web of deception and protect Sam as sinister forces close in on both of them?

My review:
Gambling on
the Artist is a little darker than the others in this series to date. Samantha
is a gifted artist and the only one in her family with no magical gift. She
left the only home she ever knew to make it on her own but now she is back in
Cat’s Paw Cove and in danger because someone is determined to get their hands
on her legacy from her recently deceased father.
I liked Sam.
She could have been all boo hoo woe is me but she knows she is a work in
progress. I usually like my heroines with more self confidence but Sam is self
aware and getting there. This was a sweet story of a young woman coming into
her own.
Though this
is part of a series it can be read stand alone.
