Turn of the Cards — Sheryl Nantus

Karl is in the doghouse, temporarily banned because of his constant arguing with his fellow gamers. When he comes back this time, he decides to try something new - a popular card game he hasn't played for years. Except he needs a partner, someone who isn't going to hold his past against him... Jeni comes to The Thirsty Meeple to relax and unwind. But a tournament offers the chance to win big money, enough to put a dent in her student debt. Practicing with Karl is good, but they both want more - including winning the tournament. Luck and Love collide, leading both of them shuffling the deck and wondering what Fate will deal out.
