Vegas Nights: A Romantic Suspense Novel
Description
Best-selling award-winning author Ophelia Sikes presents the latest in her O'Connell Family romantic suspense series. The series has earned over 224 5-star reviews and an average series-wide rating of 4.3/5!
When decorated cop Jack O'Connell was shot in the line of duty, he left behind five teenaged children. Four of them poured their rage and grief into hard-hitting careers – going undercover to take down heroin smugglers and dismantle child pornography rings. But Aedan's childhood hid a far deeper wound and an inner fury which he barely held in check. He lost himself in the brutal world of the MMA. He made billions and had everything a man could seem to desire. No matter how much he achieved, a hollowness echoed, tearing at his soul.
Heidi had dreamt of being a human rights lawyer - until that darkest of nights where she was traumatized beyond all thought. Now she is shakily picking up the pieces. An investigative journalist, she’s determined to overturn the glistening golden nugget which is Vegas to reveal its wriggling, fetid underbelly. A world where women are trapped in sex trade and unable to escape.
When Aedan and Heidi collide, sparks fly as their damaged pasts and raw wounds make trust a faint memory. But more than just their hearts are on the line. This is a billion-dollar industry thriving on world-wide sales of brutalized women and carved-up men. There are those who would stop at nothing to ensure the sickening empire maintains its death-grip on innocent lives.
It will take every ounce of strength Heidi and Aedan can muster - and the fearless strength of their families' loyalties - to make it back to the light.
"I am not sure there are enough great words to describe this series! It brings some ugly hidden truths of life to the surface but in the process it brings love, lots of unexpected love. It also brings hope that whatever your past was you can choose to let it go and live your life for today. It speaks of family and friends and the undying love that they have for each other - I promise that you will not regret reading this series!" -- Michele L.
Half of all proceeds of this series benefits battered women's shelters.
Vegas Nights contains the complete Vegas Nights series. Due to the strong sexual content and adult situations, this book is recommended for readers aged 17+.
Vegas is a spectacular place. I’ve been there many times. It’s a world of exploring exotic fantasy and releasing submerged desires. It boasts gorgeous, jaw-dropping artwork and bass-pounding nightclubs.
But Vegas is also a place with its dark side. Many are lured in by the bright lights and become lost in the shadows. One only has to look at the beggars lining the bridges, or the homeless found only blocks away from the shine of the strip, to see what can happen when gambling, drugs, drinking, and other vices run their course unchecked.
Take a journey with me, yes, to Vegas, but also within your own heart.
