Escaping relentless loan sharks and a crippling gambling addiction, he lands in Las Vegas with nothing but a bag of cash and a desperate hope for a fresh start. But Sin City has other plans. After stumbling upon so many misfortunes and getting his drink spiked, Ethan wakes up in a lavish penthouse he doesn't recognize.

Enter Dante Blackwood-the mysterious and dangerously charismatic billionaire who's face never fail to miss a page of the daily news articles. Dante, the prodigal son who built his own empire from his family's fortune, rules the city's underworld drug trade and production with a cunning smile and an iron fist. Second only to Victor Moretti, the notorious crime lord who controls Vegas's darkest vices, Dante is determined to take the throne and be number One.

In return, Ethan gets a roof over his head and protection from the demons chasing him. Desperate and out of options, Ethan accepts, plunging headfirst into a world of deceit, danger, and seductive power plays.
