Shirley Valentine goes to Vegas
Shirley Valentine meets Sons of Anarchy in this raunchy, red-hot read! Lana Saunders is on a mission: find the 'new Lana', the real Lana. After twenty years spent as a prim and proper businessman's wife, she's finally swapped beige cotton for black leather, and cardigans for tattoo sleeves! With the ink only just dry on her divorce papers, she's ready to live it up in Vegas. What she doesn't expect is to meet wickedly sexy biker, Eddie and is shocked when he asks her out. Not only does he send her sex-starved libido into overdrive, but the connection between them is unlike anything she's ever experienced. So when Eddies asks her to stay with him in Vegas, the desire to fall into this gorgeous man's bed and stay there forever is too tempting to ignore! Living with Eddie in Las Vegas is the most fun Lana's had in years-especially when he shows her that there's more than one way to ride on a Harley!-but soon she realises she can't ignore her old life forever, particularly when her ex, Adam shows up determined to win her back! Author Michelle Betham gives Jackie Collins a run for her money in SHIRLEY VALENTINE GOES TO VEGAS, a story about what happens when you realise that life isn't what you thought it would be.
Beyond its central premise, the book can be read through the connected lenses of Fiction, Romance. Those themes offer useful points of attention as the characters, ideas, or world develop, especially where the book complicates the expectations of its primary category.

Three questions to carry with you
- What does the central character want, and what do they misunderstand about that desire?
