No one can do A-list glitz and glamour like public relations consultant Nina Torres. The grand reopening of a Reno casino and resort to rival Vegas promises to be the media event of the decade. And with Casa de Mariposa's unveiling slated for New Year's Eve, Nina's got to work her legendary magic fast. But this smart and sophisticated divorcée has come too far to let some uptight ex-soldier cramp her style, even if Scott Russell is off-the-charts gorgeous.
Keeping people safe is what Scott does. But the sensual Nina is putting more than his job as head of security at risk. And when their fiery clash of wills ignites a passion that leaves them both wanting more, there's no turning back. Now Scott will need everything in his arsenal to protect Nina from past and present dangers. Together, are they ready to gamble on the most priceless jackpot of all?

Great book with ex military Scott Russell second oldest of Miss E. grandchildren and Nina public relations consultant. Loved the chemistry between Scott and Nina from the moment that they at met at Casa de Mariposa. Out of all the years Nina and Kenize had been friends Nina had never met Scott Kenzie's brother. Scott and Nina were totally opposites but yet they were attracted to each which was very good.
Loved the mystery that was going on with Gary. He had a neat little operation going on at Casa de Mariposa with the betting and prostitution but with a man like Scott being the new manager of security not much got pass him.
Anastasia was a hot mess and Carl Nina's ex-husband made. Not only was Anastasia at 25 years of age rebelling against her father but she was also interested in Scott of who was very much into Nina. Don't know what Anastasia was thinking when she made a sex tape with Carl and herself as the stars and leaked onto the internet. I guess you can say it worked in her favor by landing her a role in a movie as Carl the producer and it helped out Carl's career also. Now he can leave Nina alone.
Gary should have cut his losses and moved on after being fired; but no he comes back to Casa de Mariposa to rob them of the 10 million dollars that was being given away for a publicity stunt for New Years and of course was on the job with help from Nina.
Everything worked out and now Scott and Nina are engaged to be married.
Now on read about of Miss E. grandsons French Chef Donovan and Hendrix a pastry chef "Bet On My Heart"

My favorite thing about this was how competent she was and how much he admired her for it; I also just enjoyed all the details about her work. I also liked that neither of them really cooked but they made an effort to try to cook for the other. The blurb misled me a bit; this is more of a best friend's brother workplace romance than a bodyguard/protectee romance or a New Year's romance. The last few pages take place on New Year's Eve, which places the holiday as much less central than I'd hoped. It was still enjoyable, just unexpected.
