Shauna is an independent, charismatic, and fun young woman who enjoys outings with her friends and one-on-one encounters. Though she claims it is not on purpose, she is known to date men of a high socio-economic class. When she meets Nicholas Verraud, an alluring white man who is older than her, at a popular Las Vegas nightclub she soon discovers she is in over her head.

Both her emotions and her safety go to extremes she had no idea she would ever experience. In deciding whether she should take the plunge and go all in with the relationship or walk away, she learns about the dangerous origins of her lover's family. And puts herself in harm's way of a long-standing struggle between Nicholas' family and another family on the Las Vegas power scene. It's the very man she does not want to leave who must save her from the threat while grappling with the knowledge of her past.
