Jenny Cashman longs to escape the refined, rarified air of her exclusive Swiss education. At nineteen, she's desperate for independence-and to once again see the man she loves. So she sells her belongings, leaves Europe, and heads to Las Vegas. The sight of Steve Jason's newest palatial hotel and casino thrills Jenny-but not as much as the sight of the man himself.

But how can he keep her safe when she seems oblivious to her own stunning beauty and the reactions she gets from other men?
