"Somebody’s going to die… the devastatingly thrilling conclusion to the Santangelo saga."
A vicious hit. A vengeful enemy. A drug addled Colombian club owner. A powerful and lusty Italian-American dynasty. And the ever-powerful Lucky Santangelo has to deal with them all, while planning to build a first-of-its-kind hotel and movie studio complex in the heart of Las Vegas.
Max, her teenage daughter, is fast becoming the "It" girl in Europe’s modeling world, while getting over her first heartbreak, courtesy of Hollywood heartthrob Billy Melina, the ex-husband of Lucky’s close friend, superstar actress Venus.
Her Kennedyesque son, Bobby, well on his way to becoming a nightclub impresario and dating a hotshot deputy district attorney, finds himself drugged and set up for a murder he didn’t commit. He’s determined to find out who’s behind the frame-up, and what they want.
Meanwhile, bad girl actress Willow Price, famous for her record amount of stays in rehab, several D.U.I.’s and her outrageous public behavior, is busy working Alejandro Diego, son of the notorious drug kingpin Pablo Diego, to finance an indie film with her as the star.
And behind it all, King Emir, of the oil-rich country Akramshar, plots his revenge against Lucky, blaming her for the death of his favorite son.
But Lucky can deal. Always strong and unpredictable, with her husband, Lennie, by her side, she lives up to the family motto—Never f**k with a Santangelo. With THE SANTANGELOS, Collins takes readers from Beverly Hills to Las Vegas, from London to Rome and on to St. Tropez, bringing us an epic family saga filled with all of the glitz, drama, and scandal that courts this clan
