So when a client asks her to spy on someone, the thrill of her own case is too tempting to refuse. Instead of a cheating fiancée, however, Val’s actually checking out P.I. Drake Morgan! Worse, she ends up working with the guy.  \nTheir differing opinions on techniques—and the instant attraction—make the sparks fly. It’s almost impossible to focus on their arson investigation. As the hunt for the truth intensifies and their passion rivals the triple-digit temperature, she and Drake learn why Las Vegas is the city that never sleeps.…  \nThe scrape of bar-stool legs against the floor interrupted Drake’s thoughts  \nIn the mirror behind the bar, he observed a young woman sitting next to him. Even in this dim lighting, her hair gleamed like metal. Dye job or a wig. She wore so much eye makeup he couldn’t tell the color of her eyes.  \nHis gaze dropped to her top—what little there was of it. A flicker of heat leaped in his chest as he caught the outline of her breasts straining the red, white and blue material.  \nShe looked like a Fourth of July celebration about to pop.  \n“Like my top?” she asked in a Southern drawl.  \nHe picked up her signals more clearly than if she’d banged a gong in his ear. Just because he picked them up didn’t mean he had to respond. Nope. He’d mind his own business and ignore her.  \n“It goes with my skirt,” she continued as though it were a two-way conversation.  \nHe knew better than to look, but it was like telling Bambi to stay out of the forest. The skirt was thigh high and red. Below it, shapely legs in fishnet stockings ended in a pair of black stiletto heels with some kind of symbol on the side.  \n“It’s a fleur de lis,” she explained, pointing at her shoe with a frosty-pink fingernail,“for my boys, the Saints.” She grinned so wide, he saw she had a slightly crooked front tooth, which almost gave her a sweet, naive quality.  \nClunk.  \nHe looked stupidly at his phone lying on the floor and wondered when he’d let go.  \nDear Reader,  \nI had so much fun writing Sleepless in Las Vegas, which follows up on the story of Val LeRoy, the best friend of Cammie Copello, the heroine in The Next Right Thing (Mills & Boon Superromance, March 2013) .  \nI relate to Val, who has her heart set on being a private investigator. Nearly ten years ago, I had that same goal, and like Val, I had only a general idea what P.I.’s did when I started my internship. It’sone thing to watch Jessica Fletcher, the female sleuth in the old TV series Murder, She Wrote, or Nora Charles, the other half of the Nick and Nora private-eye team in The Thin Man film series. But it’sa whole other reality when you’re working a case undercover, trying to blend into your surroundings, hoping you don’t blow it! An experience Val and I share, by the way.  \nOne reason I so enjoy writing for the Harlequin Superromance line is that the stories, like life, thrive on romance, family and love. The hero in this story, Las Vegas private investigator Drake Morgan, has given up on finding love, but Val hasn’t…for the most part, anyway. Although they share a passion for their profession, they seem to have nothing i","cbCaibz3g7zifWeJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibz3g7zifWeJ","pdf",1765518,38,"English","en",105,"# Contents\n## Chapter One\n## Chapter Two\n## Chapter Three\n## Chapter Four\n## Chapter Five\n## Chapter Six\n## Chapter Seven\n## Chapter Eight\n## Chapter Nine\n## Chapter Ten\n## Chapter Eleven\n## Chapter Twelve\n## Chapter Thirteen\n## Chapter Fourteen\n## Chapter Fifteen\n## Chapter Sixteen\n## Chapter Seventeen\n## Epilogue\n## Excerpt","[{\"question\":\"Who is Valerie LeRoy in the story?\",\"answer\":\"Valerie LeRoy is a P.I.-in-training who is eager to enter the field and eager to prove herself on real cases.\"},{\"question\":\"What case does Val get hired to do?\",\"answer\":\"She is asked by a client to spy on someone, but the investigation turns out to involve P.I.
