Goddess of Vengeance

Started to read a book by Jackie Collins about Lucky Santangelo.
 Lucky rules with her high profile casino and hotel complex, The keys in Vegas. Lennie, her ex-movie-star husband., is still writing and directing successful movies; while Max, her teenage daughter, is about to celebrate her 18th birthday; and her son, Bobby, owns a string of hot clubs.

Lucky has everything. FAMILY.  LOVE. LIFE.

And everything is exactly what billionaire businessman Armand Jorden  is determined to take from her one way or the other.

Born a Prince in the  small but affluent Middle Eastern country of Akramshar, Armand comes to America with his mother at an early age and rises to become a real estate business titan. Women in his eyes are nothing more that breeding mares or sexual playthings, so when he's told that the one property he covets more than anything, The Keys, is not for sale, he is shocked. That a mere woman would turn down his offer to buy The Keys is unthinkable and Armand vows to force Lucky's hand whatever it takes.

And so the battle of power begins.....

Meanwhile Bobby and Max are getting into their own trouble. Bobby inadvertently becomes involved in his ex-girlfriend, L.A. Deputy D.A., Denver Jones. And young Max is getting restless. Not interested in college, she fights with Lucky and embarks on a series of adventures that could turn out to have deadly consequences. But Max is like a little Lucky, and eventually she proves her strength in more ways than one.
