Neon Dreams
She came to Vegas chasing a dream.
She stayed because quitting wasn’t an option.
When Mary Monroe drives cross-country for her big break as the lead singer in a dazzling new strip show, she’s certain she’s finally found her chance. But one week later, the show is canceled, her savings are gone, and she’s left with nothing but a month’s rent and a bruised heart.
A job behind the bar at an upscale strip club keeps her afloat—but puts her in the path of dangerous men, loyal friends, and one mysterious attorney who sees more in her than she sees in herself.
From dimly lit blues lounges to the blinding lights of the Las Vegas Strip, Mary fights her way back to the microphone. And when a viral performance turns into a record deal, she must decide if fame is worth the price… or if the real jackpot is something else entirely.
Gritty, romantic, and impossible to put down, Neon Dreams is a story of ambition, resilience, and second chances—set in the city where dreams can be made… or broken.
