Nothing Ventured

by Suzanne Simms

DECENT EXPOSURE Mary Beth Williams was a respectable librarian from a good family, engaged to an eligible man. It was all very nice. But when her husband-to-be found someone more exciting, Mary Beth gambled everything for some excitement of her own--as far away from home as possible. She flew to Las Vegas. The gamble paid off when she met a rangy young lawyer named Nick Durand, who looked more like a cowboy than an attorney. In a high-stakes town where the nights are bright as day and money flows like water, Mary Beth was afraid to trust her feelings. The glitter could turn to harsh glare . . . but nothing ventured was nothing gained.
