Luz had nightheat, the sensuous quality in a woman that makes men ache with desire. Nick loved and lusted for her the first time he saw her. But what he didn't know was that Luz had secrets--that beneath the glamour and sex appeal was a woman determined to turn her back on wealth and challenge a corrupt political system. Even if doing so meant her life.
Nick started out dirt poor--as a child, he survived the war-torn frozen hell of the siege of Leningrad and saw his mother starve to death as fat-cat bureaucrats ate well. He learned early that there were the haves and have-nots in this world. He was going to get everything rich people had--and more.
From a brutal Soviet orphanage to a plantation in the steamy jungles of the Caribbean, from sultry, violent Havana to the dangerous streets of Santo Domingo, Nick battled men who controlled and exploited the wealth of nations. With bootleg vodka and exotic rum, he built a business empire that would one day bring him into conflict with the most brutal dictator in the Caribbean--and a struggle for the love and life of the only woman he ever truly loved.

About the Author:
From Booklist:
Born in New York City, HAROLD ROBBINS is one of the world's bestselling authors, writing novels that often mirrored his own experiences and that were peopled by charcacters he had met. He died at the age of eighty-one in Palm Springs, California.
JUNIUS PODRUG was selected by the Robbins Estate to carry on the ideas, uncompleted works, and tradition of Harold Robbins because he was both a friend of Harold's and a writer whose books Harold admired. He is the author of Harold Robbins' Sin City and Heat of Passion.
Robbins fans will not be disappointed in this latest book from the dead author's estate. (Robbins died in 1997, but his editors and estate continue to publish books in his name, based on ideas he left behind when he died.) In this latest one, cowritten by Podrug, we meet Nick Cutter, who in the manner of all Robbins heroes is irresistible to women, street-smart, and--above all-- rich. Nick, who started childhood in a Russian orphanage after watching his mother starve to death during the seige of Leningrad, has kicked and scratched his way to the top. The novel follows his life--and loves, since Robbins' books generally contain a lot of descriptive, sometimes cringe-inducing, sexual escapades, and this one is no exception--from Russia to the Caribbean and finally to Cuba, where he fights gangsters and dictators to build a bootlegging empire and eventually struggles to save the life of the only woman he has ever truly loved. No surprises in this rather typical Robbins story line, but his fans will enjoy the book nonetheless. Kathleen Hughes
