First published 1984
Jenny Cashman comes back from her European schooling with one goal: to make Steve Jason see her as a woman, not the orphaned girl he took in years ago. Steve owns a casino and hotel in Las Vegas, where Jenny now lives under his roof. She throws herself into every scheme she can devise to capture his attention, but her inexperience lands her in dangerous situations that require Steve's intervention. He rescues her repeatedly from threats she cannot handle alone. Steve believes the age gap makes him unsuitable for her pure affections. He thinks his world has made him too cynical for someone so innocent. Jenny refuses to abandon her pursuit. She will not settle for any other man. Her relentless campaign begins to wear down the barriers Steve has built around his heart. The tension builds as Jenny's frustrated desires clash with Steve's protective instincts and his conviction that he represents the wrong choice for her future.
