As a result of Tara's injury her undercover coworker Nick Pratt couldn't hold his tongue. Turns out her feelings for her secret crush are returned and they want to see if there relationship has a chance. Unfortunately it's not that easy since Tara has a boyfriend, Brett. Tara and Brett decide they will have a trial separation and he will see where things can go with a girl he met while Tara and Nick see where their relationship goes. Of course there has to be rules, first and foremost no sex with anyone during the separation. Tara knows this rule will be one of the most challenging to follow; Nick's kisses drive her wild.

On the business side of Tara's life she was under investigation a few times due to her earning a reputation for firing her weapon more than any IRS agent ever. Each time Tara has fired her gun the investigation has shown the shooting was justified but that doesn't make her boss Lu "The Lobo" Lobozinski feel any better. As a result Lu has a tendency to tell Tara not to shoot anyone today whenever she heads out undercover. Tara and her partner Eddie have two huge cases they are working on. One is mostly all paperwork and auditing which Tara loves, she is a numbers girl after all. The other has them working undercover in a strip club alongside Nick and a DEA agent.

SUMMARY

It’s bad enough that Tara has to go on trial against the mortgage-frauding “Tennis Racketeers” who cheated banks and homeowners out of millions in between doubles matches. Now she has to go undercover—in a strip club—to strip the sleazeball owner of his indeed illegal livelihood. At least she’s working as a bookkeeper, not a pole dancer. And who needs tips when her undercover crush, Special Agent Nick, is the club’s bodyguard?

With so many hot bodies on display, Tara agrees to join her boss, Lu “the Lobo” Lobozinski, in her daily workouts at the Y. Lu’s on a health kick after recovering from cancer, and she’s pulled her leotards, tights, and hot-pink leg warmers out of mothballs. Which is okay with Tara. If she hopes to put Mr. Geils behind bars, grab the tennis boys by the balls, and lock lips with the unsuspecting Nick, she needs to be in the best shape of her life…
