From the bestselling author of THE FROG PRINCE comes ALICE IN WONDERLAND: When high school math teacher Alice Faye Dahl is invited to a poker party at a friend's home, she doesn't know a royal flush from a toilet flush. Four months and dozens of tournament "wins" later, she's one of the "Final Nine"--the championship table at the International Poker Tour in Surfer's Paradise, Australia--and way out of her depth. When a fluke shark attack throws Alice and the charming, wealthy journalist (and former Final Nine champion) Lapin "Rabbit" Montgomery together, it seems to challenge the saying "lucky at cards, unlucky at love." Alice is elated when Rabbit offers to help her win the multi-million dollar prize, but her excitement is short-lived. After whisking her away on a luxurious trip to Sydney, Alice realizes that almost nothing Rabbit says or does has anything to do with playing cards, and everything to do with playing people--including her. In this hilarious, modern-day twist on Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," Alice has to decide for herself if having Rabbit is worth the gamble.
