Thank you for the support, guidance and patience. I couldnât do this without you. Iâm blessed to have such wonderful, dedicated people on my team.
CHAPTER ONE
BRETT COLLINS WAS BORED.
He looked past his circle of friends as they talked among themselves, barely hearing what they were discussing, and he scanned the large room. Heâd grown up in rooms like this, attending parties like this. As the only son of one of the most influential businessmen in Las Vegas, heâd gotten to know all the players at a young age. But as he sipped his glass of soda water, he almost sighed out loud. The same faces, the same discussions, the same deals.
He was restless. He wantedâneededâa challenge. Something new.
Collins/Fischerâthe real estate development company heâd started with his friend Alex, the linchpin of their other operationsâhad seen great success in the past years, and theyâd maintained a comfortable spot near the top. But he wanted more. He wanted to be number one. And as he looked across the room for inspiration, a sign of what would be next for him, he found nothing.
