"erotic romance suspense"
FBI Agent Norton asks his civilian friend Rafe Dawson for
help requiring a CPA outsider. Norton believes an agent
has gone rogue involving a Mafia money laundering scheme
at the Las Vegas male strip joint Girls' Night Out. Rafe
owes Norton for keeping his brother-in-law Mark Sullivan
out of jail so he enlists Mark, who knows he really owes
the debt though he detests that the tip came from his ex-
wife Tiffany, who set him up in the first place that led
to his legal troubles. Owner Nicola DeStefano hires Mark Gabriel as an exotic
dancer. From the start (in his case even before they met
from her picture), Mark and Nicki are attracted to one
another. However, Mark wants to destroy Tiffany's former
ally Blade Bocelli, sent by her Uncle Pietro to watch over
Nicola and his 30 percent; however Mark will fail if he
cannot keep his brain from having only one thought. He is
disgusted with himself as he has fallen for another female
whom he assumes is the current partner of Blade, the man
who almost sent him to Leavenworth for a couple decades. The return of Mark, whose legal troubles led to the
marriage between his sister Kerry and Rafe (see BOUND AND
DETERMINED), will please readers of erotic romance
suspense. The story line is fun to follow as the lead
couple cannot keep their hands and some gadgetry off one
another. The irony of the tale is Mark is sure his new
love is in cahoots with his foe, but his other head does
all his thinking. Thus his self reprobation after
sleeping with the enemy make for a fine tale though some
readers will question his libido leading to a one icon
brain. Harriet Klausner

SummaryThe best way to go undercover is take it all off....
If the Feds want to nail a Mafia kingpin, they need a slick
trap to catch him. Enter Mark Sullivan, built for the
job—to go undercover as a male stripper in the
mobster's Vegas club. The perk? The club's owner. Sure she's
got some unsavory connections but how can anyone with those
legs be all bad?
When it comes to business, Nicola DiStefano's a pro. As for
pleasure, she's been out of commission too long to care. If
anyone can strip her of her inhibitions it's the new guy
who's stirring her wildest G-string fantasies. But Mark and
Nicki have more in common than sizzling sexual chemistry.
They each have their share of secrets and motives, and with
the mob closing in, what gets exposed is as irresistible as
it is dangerous.
