The ancient motto, inscribed in Latin on a mysterious
golden medallion, recovered from the ruins of the Roman
Empire, has guided Michael Tiranno to heights few men have
achieved. Once an orphaned farm boy in his native Sicily,
Michael made millions by mastering the intricate world of
high finance, and is now the fabulously wealthy owner of
Las Vegas' The Seven Sins, the grandest and most
extravagant casino in the world. The lavish resort
embodies the personal philosophy fueled by his lust for
power: the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
But he also has secrets, secrets that he and Naomi Burns,
his driven corporate attorney and confidante, have gone to
great lengths to bury. When an enemy from the past
threatens to undermine everything he has built, his dark
history must now be uncovered. Together, they must tear
open painful scars in Michael’s heart and soul to discover
the true identity of their unknown foe—before all of Las
Vegas pays the price for Michael Tiranno’s realized dreams.
