Vegas Stripped: Book 1

By James Brock

Born into a world of scams, hoaxes and schemes, con man Sam settles in Miami after making a major art swindle, only to lose his heart to the wrong man.
Broke and broken he moves out of the sunshine state only to be detoured to Las Vegas, where he is forced to accept the cruelest fate of all; the kindness of strangers. He has to let them take care of him to manage the job of his career, the job his life now depends on.
Set against the blazing neon of the Las Vegas strip this is the story of a flim-flam man who has always worked alone but against his will is now teamed with a former reality star, a disabled bet with a stripper brother who is running a con of his own, and a retired showgirl who has lost her high kick but none of her glitter.
And Carlos, Sam’s ex, who can now live only in the thief’s heart.
Vegas Stripped is a fast-paced tale of love, loss, redemption and, of course, sex!
