RED by Kay Duncan: A High-Stakes Thriller of Power, Passion, and Revenge In the neon-lit underworld of Las Vegas, only the ruthless survive. Red Moretti is a force to be reckoned with-a glamorous, razor-sharp high-stakes gambler with a taste for vengeance and a Beretta strapped to her thigh. When she's not cleaning out casinos with her lethal charm and sleight of hand, she's dismantling the men foolish enough to underestimate her. But after a brutal betrayal leaves her family in ruins, Red's quest for justice drags her into a deadly game with the Triads, where the stakes are no longer just money-they're blood.Enter Dante Salvatore, a ruthless empire-builder with a vendetta of his own. Charismatic, dangerous, and devastatingly sensual, he's the kind of man who owns every room he walks into-and every woman's second glance. When their paths collide, the attraction between them is as explosive as it is perilous. Trust is a liability. Desire is a distraction. And in a world where loyalty is bought and sold, the only rule is survival. But when Red uncovers a decades-old conspiracy-one that shatters everything she thought she knew about her past-she's forced to confront a terrifying truth: the only thing more dangerous than her enemies... is her own blood.
