The Card Shark Who Plays for Good

Dylan Lynn had been the world's top gambler for years, and before coming home he gave away everything he had earned to charities. He travelled back with his big sister Jane and found the household as he had left it, with his two elder sisters Bella and Sarah still there and one new face, an adopted brother named Liam. Liam wanted him gone from the first day and began looking for ways to push him out. The family casino was in trouble, and Dylan sat down against Leon Dunn, the player they called Lightning Hands, and won the table back for them. Jane kept digging afterwards and learned that Liam had been working with Leon the whole time. Leon killed her for knowing it. Dylan swore to see his sister's killer answer for it, and the promise took him through a run of matches: against James Fenn, who turned out to be Liam's blood brother, and against the man who owned the Stormhold Hotel. A biochip that mattered to his country was sitting in the middle of that last game, and he got it back. He married, and he and his wife spent the time after the trials helping people who had lost everything at cards start over.
