In Will Simpson’s first book in the Texas Sharks series, we meet Slade, a young man raised in a strict religious home in the 1980s. By the end of high school, Slade encounters a strange and exciting world, one his parents shielded him from his entire life.
Throughout Slade's childhood, he was taught that thinking about anything other than what transpired in his household and tightly-knit community was forbidden. The repercussions of daring to break the rules in thought or action were immediately met with a heavy hand of enforcement.
From an oppressive life with constant pressure from his family to fit into a mold that offered no relief, Slade is driven to venture out into an unknown world, where the rules and language are incomprehensible yet draw him irresistibly closer.
Slade is eager and learns new terms like 9-ball and Texas Hold ‘em, whereas before, he only knew poker and pool. Armed with this new lingo, he moves seamlessly into the brutal subculture of gambling and hustling. He mingles with an array of small-time con artists in ways he could never have imagined as he comes of age and cuts all ties with his former life.
While Slade struggles to become his own person, fate brings him together with Wild Phil, a bookie who becomes his surrogate father. Phil may just hold the keys to Slade’s future. With skin in the game, Slade’s actions lead him to question whether he’s on the right path or if it’s one where winners are defined by the losers they leave behind.
In this high-stake wild ride, Slade learns the hard lesson that you must lose to win.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
