Philamina Zorn is taking a leave from her police job with
Internal Affairs because her boss says she needs street
experience. Wouldn't it figure that the undercover
assignment she nets is with Lt. Ty Jamerson? He was the
subject of one of the first cases she investigated with IA
and she couldn't find enough evidence that he was a bad cop
to make the charges stick.
Now she's under his direction and what's worse, she's
working in a strip club. Thank goodness she's not
stripping, just working as a cocktail waitress. At least,
Phil thinks that until she sees the miniscule uniform.
Ignoring her feelings of embarrassment, Phil slips into
another persona to get the job done and when she's on duty,
she becomes Kat. Her total focus should be trying to find
out who was involved in the disappearances of three women,
the last one an undercover cop. They were working at the
club and left notes saying they'd been called away. But Ty
knows something happened to them and is determined to find
out what.
Getting in touch with her Kat side has pumped up Phil's
sexuality, and the sizzling anger that had always been
there between herself and Ty turns hot. In a nightclub
atmosphere where sex is selling (and for sale), the two
can't keep their hands off each other.
Whew! An erotica book with a plot. What a relief. While
some of the dialogue is a little stilted, Karin
Tabke's first novel is a blast of hot air. It's a fun
female fantasy come to life. There are probably many women
who've dreamed about strutting the stripper stage, leaving
men falling in their wake. While obviously this isn't the
way it goes for real-life strippers, Kat gets the
experience in an ideal atmosphere -- with three undercover
cops keeping her safe. You'll need a cold drink, a tub of
ice or a little action of your own to get through this one.
Straight-laced, by-the-book police officer Philamina Zorn
has always lived by the letter of the law--that is, until
she is assigned to work with Lieutenant Ty Jamerson, a
tough-as-nails, arrogantly handsome cop who knows exactly
how to press her buttons.
Staking out Klub Kashmir, Lansdowne's hottest gentleman's
club, Phil and Ty go undercover to bait the kidnapper of
three young women--including two strippers from the club--
while trying to keep their clashing personalities at bay.
Baring more than just her inhibitions, Phil dons a barely-
there ensemble, straps on stilettos, and reveals her feisty
side as Kat, a seductively sexy cocktail waitress who lets
her luscious curves do the talking. Not only is she
determined to expose a criminal, but she has vowed to show
her hot-headed lieutenant, a.k.a. floor manager of Klub
Kashmir, that she's no shrinking violet.
As Phil and Ty become deeper entrenched in the sordid
underground world of exotic dancing, where money means
everything and passions run wild, flaring tension becomes
uncontrollable lust. It's all they can do not to surrender
to desire--a hunger that intensifies with each playful
encounter. Meanwhile, a cold-blooded criminal is hiding in
the shadows--and a devastating secret that if revealed,
could shake Phil to her core.
