Night After Night

Janelle Denison. St. Martin’s Paperbacks, $7.99 mass market (352p) ISBN 978-0-312-37228-6

Denison again mixes Las Vegas glitz, glamorous women, and buff men with just enough friction to ignite the pages of this zippy sequel to Into the Night. Reliance Group staffer Sean O’Brien, a reformed con artist, is the perfect choice to lead the investigation of big-time hustler Grant Russo, who once sold out Sean’s dad and is now suspected of running a multimillion-dollar real estate con. Sean’s plan is simple: charm Russo’s beautiful daughter, Zoe, into revealing valuable intel about her father. It gets less simple when Sean and Zoe fall genuinely in love, since Sean’s duplicity, sordid past, and personal history with Russo doom any hopes he might have for a relationship with the scammer’s daughter. Denison turns love, sex, conflict, and a satisfying plot twist into a real Vegas party. (Oct.)
