The author of Skin and Good Girl Gone Bad
pens another sizzling tale of sex, scandal, and high-stakes
corruption
when a hard-hitting cop investigates the sultry, secretive
hostess of
an upscale "gentlemen's club" in the wake of a brutal
murder...
It
takes more than a red-hot body and stunning sex appeal to
manage a club
like Callahan's successfully. Jade Devereaux hides
whip-sharp smarts
and cold calculation behind her sleek facade. She's come a
long way
from the frightened teenage girl who was once prey to a
brutal man.
Now, in the cat-and-mouse game of sexual escapades, Jade
makes sure
that the men are her prey.
When a wealthy businessman is
viciously murdered mere yards from Callahan's, cynical cop
Jase Vaughn
turns to the exclusive private club for answers. Luscious Jade
Devereaux sends his masculine desires into overdrive the
moment he sees
her, but he has plenty of experience with both women and crime
suspects, and he can tell Jade has secrets to hide --
secrets that are
somehow connected to this twisted killing.
Jase is
determined to
strip away the pretense and expose the real Jade Devereaux,
even if
that means getting closer to her than the
love-them-and-leave-them
playboy has ever been to a woman. If she's guilty, Jase has
sworn to
see her behind bars. If she's innocent, then she could be
the killer's
next victim. But whether Jade is guilty or innocent, Jase
realizes to
his dismay that they are both falling victim to something
neither has
ever known -- the power of love.
