This book contains three long stories about life and love; the dialogue unfolds as three women talk about their experiences. These tales may not present answers to the riddles of the universe, but they do detail how three women managed to survive, in part because of their own hard efforts and in part because of the way luck worked for them. That is where the ideas hinted at in the title All Bets Are On Me: Three Stories of Survival comes into play. The women showed gumption as well as a knack for prevailing in games of chance: the stock market, the lottery, and the e-commerce whirlwind. They each tell their story with their own brand of honesty and humor. Harriet Tramer is now an instructor at the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University. She came to that position after many years of being a student herself and after numerous years of writing, mostly for newspapers in the Cleveland, Ohio area but sometimes just to write. The stories come from her observations on the world more than from any time spent in the classroom.

This bundle contains Play With Me, Risk & Reward, and Bet On Me, a series of three erotic romance novellas that were previously published separately. The trilogy follows the romance between billionaire casino mogul Wyatt Caine and his high school sweetheart, Tatiana Belikov. Play With Me Playing for a night...or for keeps? Jewelry designer Tatiana Belikov may have matured enough to curb her impulsive nature, but wickedness is still her best accessory. When family troubles bring her to Las Vegas and face-to-face with the man who knows all her darkest desires, resisting temptation is futile. A night of no-holds-barred sin? Jackpot. Once billionaire Wyatt Caine had nothing to offer Tatiana except his heart, but time has changed his fortunes. Now he's the king of vice, and the king always gets what he wants. Especially when all he wants is her, all grown up and ready to play every dirty game he can devise. They ignite like fireworks on the Strip, blazing hot enough to melt the best intentions. But their roll in the sheets turns into a roll of the dice, and when morning comes, Wyatt and Tatiana are left wondering whether to walk away...or raise the stakes. Risk & Reward The greater the risk... Older. Wiser. Hotter. Months after reuniting with the man who loved her-and left her-a decade ago, Tatiana Belikov is determined not to let their wicked games blind her to the danger of repeating history. If that means biting her tongue, so be it. After all, she does get to bite him. Wyatt Caine never thought Tatiana would be back in his cards, but he's not ready to question his luck. Between the sheets, the alpha male knows exactly how to make her naughty fantasies come true: rough and tumble, with an extra serving of dirty. Communicating outside of the bedroom? Not always so easy. The city's bright lights can't compare to their passion, burning hot enough to singe them both. But when the harsh glare of reality exposes long-inflicted wounds, Wyatt and Tatiana have to decide if they want to play it safe...or risk it all. Bet On Me When love is at stake, all bets are off. Fast and hard. Despite her best intentions, that's the way Tatiana Belikov rolls, and over the past year she's tumbled head over heels for her former ex-lover. Hot, indulgent, and ready to cater to her every dirty whim? There's no way she could resist. Wyatt Caine is the house, and the house always wins-but love is a precious commodity that rarely crosses his table. His game plan? Drown his woman in pleasure before she realizes he's hardly a safe bet. Their happiness burns brighter than the spotlights on the Strip, but when his past rears its ugly head, casting a shadow on their bliss, Wyatt has an important decision to make: time to fold...or go all in.

As seen on the Today Show: This true story of an unforgettable mother, her devoted daughter, and their life in the Detroit numbers of the 1960s and 1970s highlights "the outstanding humanity of black America" (James McBride). In 1958, the very same year that an unknown songwriter named Berry Gordy borrowed $800 to found Motown Records, a pretty young mother from Nashville, Tennessee, borrowed $100 from her brother to run a numbers racket out of her home. That woman was Fannie Davis, Bridgett M. Davis's mother. Part bookie, part banker, mother, wife, and granddaughter of slaves, Fannie ran her numbers business for thirty-four years, doing what it took to survive in a legitimate business that just happened to be illegal. She created a loving, joyful home, sent her children to the best schools, bought them the best clothes, mothered them to the highest standard, and when the tragedy of urban life struck, soldiered on with her stated belief: "Dying is easy. Living takes guts." A daughter's moving homage to an extraordinary parent, The World According to Fannie Davis is also the suspenseful, unforgettable story about the lengths to which a mother will go to "make a way out of no way" and provide a prosperous life for her family -- and how those sacrifices resonate over time.

A Wall Street Journal bestseller, now in paperback. Poker champion turned decision strategist Annie Duke teaches you how to get comfortable with uncertainty and make better decisions. Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time. There's always an element of luck that you can't control, and there's always information hidden from view. So the key to long-term success (and avoiding worrying yourself to death) is to think in bets: How sure am I? What are the possible ways things could turn out? What decision has the highest odds of success? Did I land in the unlucky 10% on the strategy that works 90% of the time? Or is my success attributable to dumb luck rather than great decision making? Annie Duke, a former World Series of Poker champion turned consultant, draws on examples from business, sports, politics, and (of course) poker to share tools anyone can use to embrace uncertainty and make better decisions. For most people, it's difficult to say "I'm not sure" in a world that values and, even, rewards the appearance of certainty. But professional poker players are comfortable with the fact that great decisions don't always lead to great outcomes, and bad decisions don't always lead to bad outcomes. By shifting your thinking from a need for certainty to a goal of accurately assessing what you know and what you don't, you'll be less vulnerable to reactive emotions, knee-jerk biases, and destructive habits in your decision making. You'll become more confident, calm, compassionate, and successful in the long run.
