Synopsis
Competition is
healthy. Except Carrington Carter can’t ever seem to win…
Carrington has
never been good enough, between competing with the ghost of a sister she never
met and a brother who can do no wrong in their parents’ eyes. She’s convinced
finishing nursing school will finally make her parents proud, until she finds
out she didn’t pass her boards. Now she needs money, more than she’d make
working as a nurse’s aide.
A secret life of
late nights and fast cash may be the only way to keep the news of her most
recent failure from her parents…
While driving to
the hospital, she spots a gentlemen’s club, the Thirsty Beaver, and
decides to apply for a job as a dancer. She’s danced her whole life—how hard
could it be? The only problem is it’ll have to be a secret because if her
parents found out, it’d be one more thing for them to be disappointed with her
about.
David “Damien”
Michaels loves his job with the DEA. Posing as a bouncer at a strip club is
just another assignment…
Damien lives the
single life, scratching his itch one woman at a time, while jumping his career
up the ladder. The fact-finding case at the Thirsty Beaver goes
perfectly until one gorgeous redhead complicates everything. She doesn’t belong
there, and he knows it.
One look leaves him
mesmerized, and he realizes she’s gotten under his skin. He knows he should
stay away from her. It could jeopardize her safety and his case, but when he
can’t convince her to leave the club…rules no longer apply.
Will the truth set
them free, or will Carrington and Damien finally be consumed by their…Secret
Love?

Excerpt
I’ve never been to
a strip club before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The strip clubs and
gentleman’s clubs in the movies always looked seedy, more like whorehouses.
This one doesn’t look seedy at all. A beautiful wood bar runs along one side of
the building. Black and white leather furniture is spread throughout the space
with matching tables. Booths line the perimeter.
There’s one main
stage with three different poles placed in various spots on the stage. Two
smaller stages are on opposite sides of the main one. The DJ booth is in the
corner, and I can see a guy standing up there. Right now, the music is a lot
lower than one might expect. A group of men in suits are all sitting around one
table with drinks in their hands. There’s no one dancing, but a girl in a
bikini is standing by the table of men.
“Can I help
you?"
The voice behind me
causes me to jump and then turn around. The woman is gorgeous. She has to be at
least six feet tall. Her blonde hair is slicked back, giving the illusion of a
Mohawk.
“Um, yes. Hi, I was
wondering if you were hiring.”
She looks me over
and surprisingly makes me feel like a piece of meat. For a second, I think I’m
imagining it until the woman very slowly lets her gaze travel down my body and
then settle on my breasts. She bites into her lower lip before she looks back
up at my face.
“Follow me.” She
starts walking toward the bar, so I follow behind her. My palms become sweaty
as we step behind the bar and head down a hallway that leads to a huge office.
“Have a seat. What’s your name, sweetheart?” Her voice is husky, and she has a
slight accent that I can’t place.
“It’s Carrington
Carter.”
“You want to be a
dancer here?” I nod my head. “Have you danced before?”
“I’ve been dancing
since before I could even walk. Now, I’ve never stripped before, but I don’t
have a problem showing off my body.” I sound confident even though, under this
woman’s scrutiny, I’m feeling self- conscious.
“You are beautiful.
Our customers are going to love you. I’m Bridgette, by the way, and I’m in
charge of all of the girls. We don’t need any more dancers right now, but we
can always bring you on as a cocktail server until a spot opens up. You’ll make
sure the customers have full glasses, help serve during private parties, flirt,
and make sure everyone is having a good time. What do you think?”
