The sound was unlike anything she’d ever heard. Was the slot machine broken or...
While recuperating from a devastating automobile accident, Emily Sane discovers she has the ability to walk into any casino and tell which slot machine is going to pay off. Her heightened sense of hearing—a direct result of her accident—actually allows her to detect the subtle change in pitch of the reels as they line up for the winning combination.
After testing her theory in local casinos and nearly going to jail for suspected cheating, Emily moves to Las Vegas to cash in on her talent before it disappears. On paper, her plan sounds like a winner. Move to Vegas, get a day job to cover the fact that she’s hitting jackpots in every single casino, win the million dollar jackpot, then split. In actuality, however, what she she gets is a dead neighbor on her doorstep, an attraction to a man she’s not sure she can trust, blackmail, involvement in a Secret Service investigation, and a contract put out on her life.
Emily’s determination to use her talent to win the biggest slot jackpot takes her down a path with only two possible outcomes: more money than she ever dreamed possible, or death by the hand of a professional hit man.

REVIEWS:
"...JINGLE OF COINS is a refreshingly different kind of romantic suspense. The hero and heroine are less than squeaky clean where the rules are concerned, which makes them a perfect couple and the romance between them satisfying. I would love to see this couple in a follow-up novel and find out what happens to them in the Witness Protection Program. Read JINGLE OF COINS and you'll see what I mean. Great read! Don't miss it."
"...I still did not put this novel down until the last word had been read! I look forward to reading more from C.D. Ledbetter!"
"...To this already heady mix, add an extraordinarily beautiful call girl, an extraordinarily sadistic mobster, an undercover investigation of the disappearance of three secret service agents, and you have a thriller that is hard, if not impossible, to put down. JINGLE OF COINS is highly original and a thriller from the first word."
"...Fans of Nora Roberts and Jayne Ann Krentz will find
immense satisfaction in JINGLE OF COINS."
