Author Description

As a former stripper, Carla "Rae" Hepburn once turned peeling her clothes off into an art form. Now manager of an exotic dance club, she has become the ultimate hostess, adopting some of the same tantalizing attire and mannerisms, she employed on the dance pole. She embraces her job and defiantly makes no apologies for it. But when she becomes trapped in a burning nightclub, a handsome fire captain, Baxter Rose, saves her in a gallant rescue and turns her life topsy-turvy. Though Carla spells danger and turbulence, Baxter is drawn to her like a magnet. Their passion far outweighs caution as they embark on an erotic roller-coaster romance. Carla now confronts the choice of walking away from a thrill-seeking lifestyle or possibly losing the one man who fulfills her dreams and desires. As Carla's torrid romance with Baxter heats up, she is not only forced to make life-altering decisions, but she must also topple the reign of a drug-dealing arsonist who seeks to destroy her and the young, drug-addicted dancer she mentors.
