The Real Heiress Doesn’t Beg for Love

Sloane Hawthorne is the heiress to a dynasty of card masters. When her biological family, the Montgomerys, finally found her, they gave her a dusty storage closet and told her to get along with the fake daughter they'd raised for twenty years. Sloane didn't beg. She bought the estate next door, texted her adoptive father to buy the place, and let her mother—the reigning card master—walk in and shut the whole house down. "We card masters don't fight over stuff. We just buy something better." If you want the punchline to hit even harder, you could also try: "We card masters don't play for scraps. We play the better hand." — but the version above keeps the original "buying" spirit intact.
