The Complete Lucky O'Toole Novella Collection by Deborah Coonts

A bundle of all four Lucky O'Toole novellas. Some between-the-books stories to round out The Lucky O'Toole Vegas Adventure series. Full of fun and laughter, mystery and romance.

LUCKY IN LOVE

Lucky O'Toole, the Vice President of Customer Relations for the Babylon, one of Las Vegas' most over-the-top strip properties, is seriously regretting booking a reality television show, The Forever Game, into the small theater at her hotel. One thing she knows for sure: Vegas does NOT need a dose of reality.

The four couples competing in The Forever Game add their own mischief to the incendiary mix normally available in Sin City while competing for a Las Vegas wedding extravaganza. The host of the show, Trey Gold, appears interested only in keeping the spotlight on himself while the contestants run-wild sampling all Vegas has to offer, threatening to blow the whole show out of the water.

Not only must Lucky keep the couples from killing each other, killing their relationships, or ending up on the front page of the Review-Journal, she has to navigate the rocky road to love herself. Teddie, her live-in lover, is leaning more-and-more towards chasing a new dream as a singer, leaving Vegas...and Lucky behind. And a new French chef seems determined to muddy the murky waters of love even further.

LUCKY BANG

Having a blast on the 4th of July in Vegas takes on a whole new meaning for Lucky O'Toole, head of customer relations for the Babylon, a major Strip property, when she discovers a bomb in a friend's restaurant and narrowly escapes becoming part of the explosive entertainment. And this wasn't the first time. Years ago, when Lucky was small, she'd had another narrow escape. Could the two be related? Missing dynamite, an old grudge, whispers from the past, force Lucky to delve into dark secrets best left alone. And when her father disappears, things become personal.

LUCKY NOW AND THEN

Las Vegas, the City of Reinvention.

No one knows this better than Lucky O'Toole. As the daughter of one of the men responsible for shaping Vegas from its ignominious Mob beginnings to its full current glory, Lucky has witnessed the constant rebirth. So, when the time comes to implode her father's first hotel, The Lucky Aces, she feels the angst, but moves on.

Until skeletal remains are found in the foundation and her father is implicated in a murder.

Then it is a race to uncover the long-buried past. A past no one wants revealed, least of all the killer, who has tried to kill Lucky once before. Lucky must unravel the twisted knot of lies, Mob hits, Vegas power plays, passions, and corruption.

Her father's life hangs in the balance.

And when Lucky discovers a key to the puzzle is locked in her own memory, she becomes a target herself.

LUCKY FLASH

Lucky O'Toole is back. This time she wises-up and sends her down-and-dirty best friend, investigative reporter Flash Gordon on the trail of Johnny Pismo. Pismo, a washed-up-never-been singer shows up at the Babylon singing a song about a ring of thieves stealing Vegas's music memorabilia. They replace each piece of Vegas's music history with a fake, selling the originals on the black market. Pismo even claims to have the prize piece in Lucky's father's collection--a large diamond ring given to the Big Boss by Liberace himself.

Lucky is shocked to learn he's telling the truth.

Teddie, Lucky's former lover, offers a few choice pieces of his memorabilia collection as bait. Of course, Lucky must join the chase to protect Teddie's treasures.

But can she protect her heart from him in the process?
