Free (nook/Kindle/Kobo) The B*tch by Jackie Collins [Las Vegas Society Drama Novel]

[ATDrake]

The Bitch by the late bestselling author Jackie Collins (Wikipedia) is her vintage lifestyles of the rich and infamous drama novel, updated and re-written in 2012 by the author herself, this one starring a Las Vegas gambler who falls prey to the mob and a wealthy jetsetting widow with thrillseeking tastes (heroine of a previous novel, The Stud) whom he intends to take advantage of, little knowing what he's getting into, free courtesy of publisher Chances, Inc., an imprint set up to reprint Collins' works, who are e-printing it in a revised version of its 1979 edition originally out from HarperCollins.

This was, like many of Collins' novels, a bestseller back in the day, which spawned the eponymous film (Wikipedia) which you may or may not have seen, starring her own sister, the actress Joan Collins of Dynasty (which, fun fact, according to Wikipedia her performance in the films based on her sister's books led to her being offered the role on that show) and Star Trek fame.

Currently free @ B&N, Amazon & Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians)

Unlikely to cross the pond, as HarperCollins proper still owns the rights to much of Collins' estate outside of North America.

Description
The best-selling novel by Jackie Collins is back, and fierce as ever!

Las Vegas. A carousel town set in the middle of the desert. Blazing neon signs promise all the vices known to man, and then some. Devastatingly handsome ladies' man Nico Constantine hits town to make a killing at the casinos. But instead of tripling what's left of his dwindled fortune, he ends up losing everything, and owing the mob -- big time.

Meanwhile, gloriously beautiful Fontaine Khaled has shed her filthy rich husband for the life she really wants: a riotous whirl of champagne, designer clothes, and the hottest, sexiest men. But her never-ending party comes with a price -- one even her ex-husband's outrageous alimony payments can't afford.

When Nico collides with Fontaine, their mutual lust is immediate and intense. Nico will need to use her if he wants to stay alive, and Fontaine fears she's met her match.

Love is the last thing on their minds, but it may be their fate -- if their creditors don't get them first.

Completely re-written, updated and revised for 2012 by the author. And now available for the first time as an e-book.
