Vegas Heat is the powerful story of the Thornton dynasty…of Fanny's twin sons, Sage and Birch: alienated from each other, one is content in his conventional life while the other's search for happiness leads to tragedy—and renewed hope. It is the story of Fanny's two daughters: Sunny, betrayed by her husband, fighting a battle no woman should ever have to face…Billie, whose obsessive devotion to the Thorntons' children's clothing empire has kept her from finding love. It is also the story of Fanny's search for her own roots…and her relationship with Marcus Reed, the wealthy but mysterious businessman who promises her a passion she has been denied for too long.
A poignant and passionate tale of pride and ambition, heartbreak and betrayal, tragedy and triumph, Vegas Heat resonates with drama and emotion. It is the story of a family's struggle for success against all odds and their search for love and acceptance. It is Fern Michaels at the peak of her storytelling powers.

"I actually enjoyed this more than the first book in the series. I thought that we got to see a deeper side to the characters not revealed previously. I understand how some people might find it completely unrealistic, nevertheless I thought it was stronger than the previous book."
— Holly (4 out of 5 stars)
" I can't believe I was trying to read such drivel. It's like it wasn't even edited. There were sentences that were clearly not questions that ended in question marks? AWFUL. "
