Not much can go wrong when you're traveling first-class with your fabulously wealthy boyfriend -- until you find his wife's body in your hotel suite.

Convinced she's next on Nick Noble's hit list, Jennifer Chaise takes off down the Vegas Strip armed with only her wits and a Kate Spade bag full of money. Giving herself a drastic makeover -- complete with a new name -- she lands herself a waitressing job in a nearby town. For someone used to private jets and waterfront condos, the change in lifestyle couldn't be greater. Yet, oddly enough, Jennifer couldn't be happier.

And then she meets Alex Nichols. One of the Las Vegas police department's finest, he's everything she's ever wanted. But when Nick's bodyguards arrive in town, Jennifer knows that if she wants a future she's going to have to deal with her past . . .

Robyn Carr is an extraordinary writer and this book is one of her best. I wasn't sure I would like this lead character since she was a kept woman with no qualms about it. I also thought it would be typical chick-lit but it was much deeper, it's a book about a woman who changes her life, her look and her values and finds the real meaning of love and friendship.

The secondary characters are well drawn, and they add so much to what could have been a very ordinary romance. Well done and great reading!

I didn't think I would like this book because it is so out of character for me to read a book like this but I loved it and couldn't put it down. It has a bit of everything, mystery, romance, suspense. It is a great read in my opinion.

Just can't seem to go wrong with Robyn Carr books. This single title romance is another one that is sure to please.

Jennifer Chaise is a mistress in every since of the word. She has created a beautiful exterior that men love to love. Her entire adult life has been lived in the arms of older wealthy men who, though often married, gave her all the luxuries that she assumed made her life the happy existance it is. WRONG.

She overseas her current squeeze in a fight with his wife and the next thing she knows the wife is dead and she is on the run. After hiding out in a small town outside Vegas, she begins to make some friends and builds a new life for herself in a world of paycheck to paycheck and Walmart chic.... the world she thought she had left behind. But the funny thing is that Jennifer suddenly realizes that she is happy living the simple life - so happy that she wonders what in the world she saw in the fake life she had before.

Along the way she befriends Nick Noble, the next door neighbor and Vegas cop. She is on the run and afraid to talk. He knows she isn't who she claims and just wants to find out how to help her break free. All the while sparks fly when they are together and the world seems a little less bright when they are apart.

Another great story from Ms. Carr. This one kind of jumps in fast and Jennifer takes her "new look" to unneeded extremes, but once you look past that it is a fantastic story with lots of humor, friendship and love.
