Kurt met Eugenie when she was his half-brother Lenny's girlfriend. Their dad was taking Kurt's mom to Palm Springs for the weekend and they needed someone to watch Kurt-Lenny was dragooned into it. When Eugenie came over to be with Lenny, Kurt was enchanted by her beauty and immediately fell for her. That she was seventeen and he was nine didn't stop him.
Their next encounter was when Kurt invited Eugenie to be his senior prom date. She found this to be absurd, as she was a twenty-five year old cocktail waitress on the Vegas Strip, but she pitied him and went. She had a better time than expected.
They actually became friends after she married a lawyer who worked for Kurt's real estate development firm, but her husband didn't like it and they moved to California where they had a child. Meanwhile, Kurt was going on his third marriage and had four daughters. But now that he was fifty two and wealthy and she was a very well preserved and successful real estate agent, Kurt and Eugenie might finally get their chance for love, as long as various family members and business entanglements don't trip them up.
Dangerland, or Las Vegas, is a place where rules are made to be broken. This quirky novel will make you a believer in second or third chances for those who play their cards right.
