High Stakes by Iris Johansen

Lara is a pianissimo in the virtual sense, the finest.  She is also beautiful and deadly.  Russian mobsters rule her life but an even bigger mobster with mysterious intentions wants to change it.  Tanner, gambler extraordinaire, is hired to extract her from a perilous life with a nebulous promise of payment. 

Tanner is a savant, he excels in all he touches.   His ego may be superior to his skills and he finds that his intentions are impacted by an unforeseen emotion.  

Lara trusts no one but soon discovers to change her life she is going to need to trust someone. 

There is action aplenty, relationships and treachery.  

I enjoyed the book but was not over enjoyed with the book.
