Synopsis

Jackie Collins' fierce and wildly beautiful heroine Lucky Santangelo is back with a vengeance―in a novel full of power, passion, revenge, and the raging family dynamics of the Santangelo clan―and, as always, Lucky comes out on top.

Lucky runs a high profile casino and hotel complex, The Keys in Vegas.

Lennie, her movie star husband, is still writing and directing successful independent movies, while Max, her stubborn and gorgeous teenage daughter is about to celebrate her 18th birthday, and her son, Bobby, owns a string of hot clubs. Lucky has everything. Family. Love. Life.

And everything is exactly what billionaire businessman Armand Jordan is determined to take from her one way or the other.

Born a Prince in the small but affluent Middle Eastern country of Akramshar, Armand comes to America with his American mother at an early age, and rises to become a real estate business titan. Armand regards women as nothing more than breeding mares or sexual playthings, so when his people inform him that the one property he covets more than anything, The Keys, is not for sale, he is shocked. That a mere woman would dare to turn down his offer to buy The Keys is unthinkable, and Armand vows to force Lucky's hand whatever it takes. And so the battle for power begins . . .

Meanwhile Bobby is dealing with shady Russian investors, while his girlfriend―smart and independent Denver Jones―is becoming a Deputy D.A. in the L.A. drug unit.

And Max, Bobby's seventeen year old sister, is busy embarking on a forbidden affair with a sexy young movie star. An affair they have to keep on the down-low lest Lucky finds out.
The word is that "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" and what happens in Goddess of Vengeance will blow your mind!

About this title

From the Back Cover

Jackie Collins’s fierce heroine Lucky Santangelo is back—with a vengeance—and the stakes are higher than ever...

Love. Beauty. Success. Lucky has everything her name implies. And as the force behind a high- profile casino and hotel complex, The Keys in Vegas, Lucky has exactly what billionaire businessman Armand Jordan is determined to take from her—and he’s not afraid to play dirty.

“Think Entourage meets The Real Housewives...shopping with Kardashian-crowd intensity amid a swirl of arrogant agents, kinky call girls and coked-up club owners.”—People

Born a prince in a small but affluent Middle Eastern country, Armand came to America at an early age and grew up to become a real estate titan. Convinced that no woman would have the courage to stand up to him in business, he is shocked to learn that Lucky would dare to turn down his offer to buy The Keys. And so the battle for power begins...

“The author excels at portraying villains her fans love to hate, and in this outing she does not disappoint... Unapologetic thrills with oodles of flash.”—Kirkus Reviews

Meantime, Lucky’s club-owner son Bobby is dealing with shady Russian investors. Max, her teenage daughter, is busy embarking on an affair with a sexy young movie star—and doing everything she can to keep it a secret from her mother. It’s business as usual for the Santangelo clan... But this time, it just might take more than Lady Luck for them all to come out on top.
