Summary "A beautiful and resourceful pregnant lady only weeks from her due date; the charming but disingenuous Dallas Cowboy who fathered her baby; a white sadist who thinks he's black; and a Super Bowl betting slip worth a potential $1.25 million all come together in a roller-coaster ride of dark humor and suspense. Reece Germaine is a successful PR professional entirely capable of supporting the baby fathered by football superstar Raygene Price during one wild Las Vegas weekend. But Raygene's reluctance to provide his fair share of child support ticks her off--until she remembers the betting slip he bankrolled for her as a gag during this same weekend. If it pays off, Reece will have more than a million reasons to forgive and forget Raygene for good. But he has need for the slip himself, as an old homeboy is blackmailing him to the tune of $200,000. Throw in Raygene's penny-pinching mama, his coddling agent, and professional troubleshooter Aeneas Charles, who's been hired to keep Raygene from shooting himself in the foot, and you have a comic noir of the highest order."--Jacket.
