But Stephanie Grant has done just that. She leaves the comfort of her well-controlled Chicago lifestyle to track down her wayward younger sister, who's followed a boyfriend to New Orleans only to get dumped. Her sister announces her solution is to become a high-priced prostitute. Stephanie then loses contact with her sister and knows that something is wrong. Stephanie solicits the help of a retired prostitute to learn how to dress and play the role to gain access to a hush-hush third-floor private party area of a fancy club. She looks the part, maybe a bit too glamorous in fact, and eyes, as the window to our soul, can always be a giveaway, especially if there's a hunky bartender around who just happens to be an ex-cop.
Jake Broussard just wants to work a few nights, eat a bit and sleep a lot until he dies. That's his plan since his wife was killed when a bad guy put a hit out on him. His police days are long over and he knows he can't save the world -- he can barely save himself. Yet, when Stephanie saunters up to the bar, Jake immediately knows this beautiful woman does not belong here. He watches her mingle and later propositions her, offering big bucks, only to be turned down. She's no more a hooker than he's a super hero. Stephanie's determination to find her sister, yet lack of self-preservation in the process, hits Jake in the heart he thought he'd closed down. He finds himself reluctantly promising to help Stephanie find her sister.
Stephanie's love life has been emotionally non-existent and passion has never found her. She's shocked when her body instantly reacts to Jake. Soon, the steamy nights of New Orleans, the sensuous, tight-fitting dresses and sexy lingerie she's wearing and this potent specimen of a male are making passion almost a craving for Stephanie.
IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS awakens highly sensual thoughts and delves into the power of passion over control. The story moves quickly as Stephanie and Jake search for her sister and find their libidos heating up as they travel through the darker, sexier nightspots of New Orleans. It's the stuff of hot passionate dreams.
