Nestled in a quiet corner of the city, The Golden Hour is an elegant yet welcoming casino, known for its warm lighting, smooth jazz, and an atmosphere that makes time feel slower. Unlike the grand, showy casinos of the strip, The Golden Hour prides itself on a refined, almost intimate experience-where high-rollers and casual guests alike can enjoy a game without the usual chaos.
Though it's run by an unusual group of misfits, the casino operates like a well-oiled machine. Every detail is carefully managed, from the perfectly mixed cocktails to the subtle yet effective way disputes are settled before they ever make a scene. The Golden Hour is a sanctuary, a place where people come to forget their troubles for a while-but behind the smooth operations, the staff have their own responsibilities beyond the tables.
Once the doors close for the night, they take care of the things no casino manual covers-helping regulars who've gambled too much, handling discreet favors for loyal patrons, or making sure certain debts are paid before they turn into problems. They don't go looking for trouble, but trouble always finds its way to The Golden Hour.
In The Golden Hour, the games may end when the lights go out, but the real stakes are always in play.

Tempting the Tycoon
Meet Sydney Hughes. Even though she's a knockout, she hasn't had a steady boyfriend since college. She's been too busy tending bar at her dad's neighborhood pub since her mom died a few years ago. Though she has a degree in hotel management, she enjoys helping her dad with the business. Her infectious smile, sense of humor, and lively showmanship pack the bar every weekend. Enter Alexios Verga, co-CEO the Midas Touch, the latest hotel and casino to crowd on to the Las Vegas Strip. While his brother runs the hotel, Alexios is responsible for the casino and entertainment. Which aren't doing particularly well, since he prefers to frequent the Strip's lounges with his latest hottie instead of manage the business. Until Daddy lowers the boom: raise the hotel bar's revenues or start taking orders from his younger brother. The first time Alexios enters Jimmy's Bar it's so crowded he can barely get inside. It obviously has something he hasn't thought of for his casino lounge. And that something turns out to be Sydney Hughes. Alexios is fascinated with Sydney's ability to take drink orders, schmooze with the patrons, and and entertain using flamboyant moves more in keeping with a magician than a bartender. It also doesn't hurt that he's drawn to her fresh, girl-next-door looks and personality, so unlike with whom he normally surrounds himself. But when he makes her a lucrative job offer she flatly turns him down, unimpressed by his good looks or his credentials. Unused to rejection, he goes around her back. Now that Sydney works for Alexios, she's even more the ice queen where he's concerned. And he finds himself obsessed with the sexy bartender, thinking of her morning, noon, and night. Is Alexios capable of changing his playboy ways and winning Sydney's trust? Or will this be his last call?Concluida
Mr. Sexy, Book 1, The Hardcore Series
The one thing I've been missing walks into my life. A man with blue-green eyes that sets my soul on fire. I sure didn't see Mr. Sexy in my stars. Ironically, I meet the man of my dreams in Alabama. He's a handsome helicopter pilot who moved into 9G down the hall. Our chemistry is off-the-charts HOT! He thinks I'm a sweet, southern girl. And for now, that's enough. There is no reason to share my secret yet. It serves no purpose for him to know I'm the hottest act on The Vegas Strip. A million-dollar diva with a show of my own. Experience has proven that information changes men. They stereotype me, and I am not a 'sex worker.' I'm a dancer who sells the suggestion of seduction. As a matter of fact, my Rule #1 is: No touching. So, my game plan is simple. Seduce him. See if this magical feeling between us is love. If the fireworks explode into something real, I'll share my secret then. But if the fireworks implode, there was no need for him to have known. Time to test Mr. Sexy's desire. Is it lust or love?Concluida
Velicious Book One (un-editied)
Dante leans in, his cool breath against my cheek. “Acceptance is the first step to overcoming misfortune.” Misfortune was a light way of describing my current life. “I got a proposition for you,” he says as I felt a shiver race down my back. I looked at him curiously, “And that would be?” Dante looked over at the far a corner where there were a few classic 1940’s wooden pool tables. “I win, you unwind yourself through whatever measures.” I withheld a smartass response, “And if I win?” “Your misfortune will be no more,” Studying Dante I murmured. “How can you guarantee such a thing?” “Because I’m awesome,” Dante says with a smirk. A handsome half smile, that made me want to press my lips against his. Ugh, I’m dancing with the devil. “Or, are you not so familiar with the game?” “If I choose not to play it’s because one, I have a date and secondly I just don’t want too.” “Or,” adds Dante. “There’s a tiny, mental acquisitiveness that you can’t get rid of when it comes to me, and it makes you want to avoid whatever this is. At all costs." Ding, ding, ding! Dante hit the jackpot. I refused to let it show that he was right on target. Dante continued, starring deeply into my brown eyes. "However, you may simply suck at pool and don’t want to be shamed.” I tried my best to hold in every emotion that was bubbling inside of me. It was a mix of excitement and fear. Hot and cold. Night and day. Such contradictions I can’t think straight. Struggling to hold in my composure, I said meandering pass Dante and towards the pool tables. “I’m a goddess,” He said following behind me, “Cocky little vixen.” “Not cocky,” I said over my shoulders. “I told you, I'm a goddess when it comes to pool. I'm untouchable.” - - - - - Copyright 2014 Shelique Lize and I mean that legally.
