The Las Vegas Desert Flower — Donna Mabry

When Alexandra Merritt inherits a Las Vegas casino worth three hundred million dollars her life is turned upside down. While trying to learn every phase of the operation, she has to contend with a wild variety of Vegas visitors. There are egomaniac movie stars, ambitious stand-up comics, thieves, coked-up athletes, and a fabulously beautiful blonde with two things on her mind--becoming a movie star and murdering everyone who gets in her way. When Nikki sets her sights on Alex, the feisty redhead has to scramble. The life she has to save, is her own.
