Ruby Walsh has spent two years hiding behind merger agreements and corporate acquisitions, burying her grief in work since her wife's death. Her mansion in The Ridges, Las Vegas' most exclusive enclave, has become an empty shrine to a life no longer lived, but the night she confronts her neighbor about the music coming from her property, everything changes. Athena Stavros runs the Olympus, the Strip's most glamorous casino, but her true domain lies hidden beneath her home—a secret world of indulgence accessible only to a select circle of powerful women. Behind her white armor—tailored suits and wide-brimmed hats—stands a woman who orchestrates desire but never loses control... until she meets Ruby. In the shadows of Sin City two women accustomed to writing the rules become caught in a dangerous dance of their own making. When power shifts, the greatest risk might not be falling into desire, but daring to believe in something more.

Lise Gold is an author of lesbian romance. Her romantic attitude, enthusiasm for travel and love for feel good stories form the heartland of her writing. Born in London to a Norwegian mother and English father, and growing up between the UK, Norway, Zambia and the Netherlands, she feels at home pretty much everywhere and has an unending curiosity for new destinations. She goes by ‘write what you know’ and is often found in exotic locations doing research or getting inspired for her next novel. Working as a designer for fifteen years and singing semi- professionally, Lise has always been a creative at heart. Her novels are the result of a quest for a new passion after resigning from her design job in 2018. Since the launch of Lily’s Fire in 2017, she has written thirteen romantic novels, four erotic novellas under the pen name Madeleine Taylor, and is currently working on ‘The Resort Series’. When not writing from her kitchen table, Lise can be found cooking, at the gym or singing her heart out somewhere, preferably country or blues. Lise lives in London with her two dogs El Comandante and Bubba.
