You’re not going into this alone.
P.I. Frances Jefferies is the perfect person to slip into Las Vegas’s underworld to recover a priceless necklace. With her elite investigative skills, not to mention her jewel-thief past, she knows she can get the job done. That is, until a sexy stranger gets in her way.
Braxton Morgan’s past is as secretive as her own. There’s so much about this man she wants to discover but not at the cost of her case. For that, she must stay focused. Then Braxton suggests adding his security expertise to catch the criminal. And suddenly they’re mixing smarts with danger and a whole lot of passion!
Dream Cast
Heroine: Frances Jefferies, former jewel thief turned insurance investigator: Grace Kelly. In fact, I gave a "tip of the hat" to Grace Kelly's character (Frances Stevens) in the 1955 classic movie TO CATCH A THIEF by giving my character the same first name. Although in HEARTS IN VEGAS, Frances is the reformed jewel thief (in TO CATCH A THIEF, the character played by Cary Grant is the reformed jewel thief).
Hero: Braxton Morgan, Las Vegas private eye. He has that enduring cute-boy look and nonchalant irony. Think of a younger Hugh Grant.

Villian: Dmitri Romanov, a Russian criminal whose chiseled features and cropped blond hair are reminiscent of Daniel Craig, the actor who plays James Bond.
