As editor of the hottest e-zine in Dallas, journalist Leah Reece is determined to get an exclusive scoop on the private 69 Club. Shrouded in mystery, it's an exclusive invitation-only sex club housed in a suburban restored mansion. Owner, Miguel Lucero, has dangerous connections and is suspected of smuggling people across the Mexican/U.S. border.

Leah suspects that there's more going on at the club than stripping and she pays for an invitation to get inside and meet with an employee who has agreed to an interview. At the club she finds herself attracted to house bodyguard Quin Perez, who invites her to view the show from his private observation room. She accepts his invitation, but when Quin leaves her alone she leaves the room to snoop around and gets caught by Lucero. Determined to protect her source and not to reveal her reason for being at the club, she lies to him and her lie is corroborated by Quin who also wishes to avoid trouble.

Quin knows what Leah is up to and warns her that Lucero is a dangerous man and she should steer clear of the club, but he won't explain why. As the only child of a wealthy widower, Leah has always gotten her way and does not like to be told she can't do something. Quin's warning tells her that there's more of a story than she first suspected and it fuels her determination to uncover it.

The dark, muscled, tattooed Quin is the tough type that Leah's always been attracted to and they hookup immediately. While she enjoys sexual freedom, Leah avoids commitments because of her tendency to attract abusive "bad boys." But despite his "bad boy" persona, Quin proves to be exactly what she needs: a loving, family-oriented gentleman who's good in bed. As their relationship intensifies they are unaware that Lucero is watching their every move and that Leah will soon become the pawn in a dangerous business.

BAD BOY is an engaging traditional romance with lots of suspense, action, and hot sex. This is not one of those erotic novels with random endless sex acts, flat characters, and no plot. The sex is natural and inventive; Quin and Leah engage in sex talk and sexy play. Major and minor characters are multidimensional with flaws and family relations that create enough emotional depth for readers to care about them. For example, Leah is still recovering emotionally from an ex-boyfriend stalker relationship that almost cost her the life of a loved one. The plot flows smoothly to a logical conclusion. Readers will enjoy this book.
