Le jour où Red convoque à New York ses trois fils, Max, Chris et Jett, ces derniers sont loin de se douter que cette réunion de famille va bouleverser leur monde. Jeune héritière new-yorkaise, Amy Scott-Simon est fiancée à Max. À sa soirée d’enterrement de vie de jeune fille, elle rencontre Jett. Jett n’a pas la moindre idée de qui est Amy. Pas plus qu’elle ne comprend qui il est.

Mensonge, trahison, vengeance... De Manhattan à Las Vegas, deux femmes, extrêmes et indépendantes, découvrent à quel point leur vie n'est que reflets trompeurs... Madison Castelli, jeune journaliste prometteuse, sent le monde s'effondrer autour d'elle en entendant les révélations de son père : sa mère, Stella... n'est pas sa véritable mère ! Cruelle ironie du sort : elle, qui est passée maître dans l'art de révéler les secrets des autres, n'a pas su deviner ceux qui planaient sur sa propre existence... Perdue, blessée d'avoir été abusée si longtemps, elle décide de faire la lumière sur les mystères de son passé - et de celui de son père... Non loin d'elle, Rosarita Falcon, sulfureuse New-Yorkaise avide de luxe et de célébrité, n'a qu'une idée en tête : quitter Dexter, son mari. A tout prix. Promis à une grande carrière d'acteur, ce dernier a profondément déçu ses attentes et ses espoirs... Mais il refuse absolument d'envisager le divorce...
THE FABULOUS HEROINE OF CHANCES RETURNS. SHE'S A HOT-BLOODED BEAUTY IN LOVE WITH POWER, HUNGRY FOR PLEASURE... WILD, NOTORIOUS, TROUBLE... SHE'S... LUCKY With the sensual grace of a panther, Lucky Santangelo prowled her Las Vegas casino, restless, ready, eager for action. That night began a dazzling odyssey, filled with dangerous passion and sun-drenched sex, sadistic vengeance and breathless suspense. From the decadent luxury of California, to Paris, New York and a private Greek island, Lucky fought for her father's honor, for ruthless triumph, for the wild card of a fabulous love. Her rivals; an ice-cold Hollywood wife... a much-married heiress strung out on cocaine... a jaded magnate hooked on power...a crazed hoodlum lusting for murder. But Lucky was a gambler and a lover, a woman who ruled her empire and pursued her man with the potent Santangelo strength... her way, on her terms, whatever the odds. Jackie Collins tops the sensational success of "Hollywood Wives" and "Chances" with "Lucky", "so hot it will have to be printed on asbestos." --Liz Smith, The New York Daily News Copyright © Libri GmbH.

Like mother, like daughter. No truer words for Lucky Santangelo's sixteen-year-old Max, who goes looking for trouble when she hooks up with some guy she met on the Internet. Soon the beautiful, willful Max finds herself in deeper waters than she can imagine as she becomes a pawn in a greater scheme that leads back to Lucky and Billy Melina, the studly movie-star boyfriend of Lucky's best friend, superstar Venus. If Max's troubles weren't enough, Lucky has her multi-billion-dollar Las Vegas hotel complex to contend with...along with Anthony Bonar, the illegitimate grandson of her one-time Godfather and lethal enemy, Enzio Bonnati. So begins a non-stop thrill ride as Lucky builds her dream resort--and gambles with all she holds dear. Max, too, is following her dreams, and as her high-flying triumphs prove, she's more than just a little Lucky.
Lucky Santangelo rules her family with an iron fist. But will she come out on top this time? "Get ready for a wild ride." -PopSugar A vicious hit. A vengeful enemy. A drug-addled Colombian club-owner. A coke-addicted young actress. A dynamic Italian family. And the ever-powerful Lucky has to handle them all. Then there's Max, her teenage daughter, the new "It" girl in Europe's modeling world, and her Kennedyesque son, Bobby, who's being set up for a murder he didn't commit. But Lucky can deal. Always strong and unpredictable, with her husband Lennie by her side, she lives up to the family motto: NEVER CROSS A SANTANGELO. But when Lucky opens an expensive note card edged in gold, printed with the single word VENGEANCE, she knows she is in for the fight of her life... "An epic family saga filled with love, lust, murder, and revenge... deliciously true to form." -OK! Magazine
