Gamble: 3

Meg Callahan has a great life. There's always work for a wedding planner in Vegas, and even having to babysit her best friend's Army buddy doesn't slow her down. Then, at the end of a normal business lunch, bullets fly, her entire world is shattered, and suddenly she's on the run.As the Ghost Squad's medic, Tax has seen far too much suffering and death. Plagued by combat stress, he's decided to attend his squadmate's wedding, tuck away any loose ends, then bow out-permanently. His plans didn't include a platinum-haired pixie who needs a helping hand with her business, or the desperate, terrified phone call when she has nowhere else to turn.Hired killers, crooked cops, organized crime-everyone wants Meg dead. She's determined to solve the mess without endangering anyone further. It's up to Tax to keep the most gorgeous woman he's ever met alive, perhaps in the process finding his own reason to live.And if anything happens to her, he'll burn Sin City down...
