Lucky Santangelo is back, and you should be excited.

Jackie Collin’s mafia-princess-turned-Vegas-mogul makes a most triumphant return in Drop Dead Beautiful, a sequel to 1999’s Dangerous Kiss. The latest finds Santangelo simultaneously planning a mega-resort and her father’s 95th birthday, unaware that family-rival Anthony Bonnar is plotting revenge! From there, Collins takes the reader through a whirlwind of mafia justice, double-crossings, Internet predators, and, if Dr. Pepper isn’t enough for you, some supposedly fantastic sex scenes involving Bonnar’s wife, their Mexican gardener and a federal drug enforcement agent, though not necessarily at the same time.

Collins appeared on The Today Show yesterday, flustering Matt Lauer and discussing the plot of the book in more detail, the history of Lucky Santangelo, the sex scenes and Wolfgang Puck’s newest drink, The Jackie Collins.
