Stephanie Grant's first step onto the secret third floor of Chez Sophia frightens her ... and strengthens her resolve. Here in New Orleans, in this luxurious world of beautiful women, wealthy men, and heady champagne, she's about to begin a perilous charade to find her missing sister. But her most reckless—and thrilling—journey will be surrendering to the spell of one man's desire. Her guide will be Jake Broussard, the bartender and ex-cop who immediately sees through her act and becomes her ally. As his eyes and soft Cajun accent send her senses reeling, she'll find herself experiencing pleasure for the very first time in her life...and losing control. Her defenses are about to slip away with her satin gown and her lacy lingerie, baring her body and soul.
