Here's a blurb draft plus KDP categories/keywords for Ports of Departure: Monaco.
BlurbShe learned to read a poker table before she learned to read a room. Now she's using both.
Anastasia B. Italiano didn't come to the Riviera to be rescued - she came to find out how far a good hand could take her. Widowed young and richer than anyone in her hometown ever guessed, she trades a hospital-town life for the harbor circuit, where the boats get bigger, the watches get quieter, and the men who need you to know their net worth are never the ones who actually have it.
Joe was the warm-up. Rafael is the education. And somewhere between a reassignment on a Nassau dock and a villa in Monaco, Anastasia starts learning the real difference between money that talks and money that doesn't have to - liquid versus estate, performance versus power, and the invisible architecture the wealthiest people never explain to anyone.
Then there's Yuri - the one man on her security detail who was never hired to be impressed by her, and the only one who initiates on his own terms.
Book Two of the Ports of Departure series follows Anastasia from a poker-table education to a Monaco reckoning, where every drink, every introduction, and every gift is a move in a game she's finally learning to play - including the ones that could cost her the ledger she's kept on herself. Includes A Note on Moneycraft, a real-world guide to how the ultra-wealthy actually structure their money.
A sharp, glittering, whip-smart read for anyone who's ever wondered what it actually takes to sit at the real table.
