- Summary:
- Gambling runs through the blood of the Navarro family. Having heard her entire life of the lost glory of La Estrella, the casino the Navarro family owned in Havana before Castro took power, Esmeralda thinks it's a joke when her mother informs her and her siblings that the family has a duty to bring La Estrella back into their lives.
- With a mandate given to her through a dream, the Navarro matriarch announces that in order for La Estrella to thrive again, the Navarro family must once again be brought together. Only, there's a hitch. The youngest daughter, a journalist living in Las Vegas, is missing. The family must find a way to rescue her, not only in time to restore the family's blood-business again, but to save her life.
- From seedy bar to casino to back alley, Esmeralda sleuthes her way through Las Vegas with a sexy style, and into a mystery that is much larger than she or her family had ever bargained for.
