Strip Tease

Caroline Richards was totally out of her element when she found herself at a strip club trying to find a male stripper for her best friend, Mollie's bachelorette party. She watched loser after loser strip down without finding anyone interesting until the most gorgeous man she had ever seen stepped on stage. Caroline headed back stage after his show to ask him if he would work a private party, and before she knew what hit her, she was sitting in a jail cell being booked for solicitation by officer Tony DiMarco.

Tony felt horrible. Caroline was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but in living color on the evening news. He had checked her out, and everything she said was true. She was simply trying to hire a stripper for a bachelorette party, not trying to pay him for sex. He was doubly horrified when he found out she was a massage therapist, and her business was taking an immediate hit because of his mistake. Tony had ruined her livelihood, and all he could think about was getting her into bed. He was determined to get closer to Caroline, but she threw up roadblocks at every turn.

Tony was very charming and full of charisma - no wonder Caroline fell for him. He was exactly what she needed in her life. Not just Tony, but his whole loud boisterous family. It is a short story, but well worth the time.

Caroline Richards is looking for a stripper to help liven up her friend Mollie's upcoming bachelorette party. Unfortunately the only local strip club for women doesn't appear to have any male specimens worth hiring. She's just about given up hope when a very likely prospect takes the stage in a faux police uniform. She just knows that he'd be perfect for the job. Everything seems to go perfectly when she finally approaches him - right up until he slips the handcuffs on her and informs her that she's under arrest for solicitation.

Tony DiMarco has been `working' at Strippendale's for two months gathering evidence that will prove there are illegal activities taking place there. He's accomplished his goal and now it's time for the big bust. The last thing he expects is to be approached by a woman who obviously doesn't belong there and turns him on more than he cares to admit, only she isn't looking for a date. She wants to know if he's available and how much he charges. It's only after the damage is done that Tony realizes that he's made a huge mistake.

Caroline had to call Mollie to pick her up from the jail where she'd been transported after her arrest. Being arrested for solicitation is humiliating enough but what makes it all worse for Mollie is the media learned about the bust and showed up to record as much as they could. Once Mollie arrives, Caroline wants nothing more than to get away from the jail as quickly as possible. Instead `Officer Friendly' as Caroline's dubbed Tony, waylays her escape to apologize for his blunder. His apology isn't going to salvage her reputation or her fledgling career in massage therapy, especially once her clients see her face on the news in connection with the bust of a prostitution ring.

Tony is horrified that he wrongly arrested the first woman he's been attracted to in a very long time. She had obviously been interested in him before the arrest. Maybe in a couple of days she'll cool down enough to be interested in seeing him again (in or out of clothes). Tony feels responsible for the fact that Caroline's business is suffering because of his mistake but he has an idea to help her rebuild her clientele. Is Caroline going to be willing to accept his help? And will she ever be willing to see him on a personal level?

STRIP TEASE is a thoroughly enjoyable story that readers will smile their way through. I absolutely love the determined spirit that both characters possess and the playful banter that exists throughout the storyline. Even though they didn't meet under the best of circumstances, Caroline isn't one to hold a grudge and Tony is very thankful for that, especially when he finds out just how good she is with her hands. Kate Davis does a beautiful job depicting Tony and Caroline's vulnerabilities and quirks so that you feel like you've known them forever.

He's vice. She's nice. This potent mix has to be handled with care...

It seemed easy enough. Hit the local all-male strip club, pick a likely target, and hire him for her best friend's bachelorette party. But the stripper who catches Caroline's eye has a different agenda. He's an undercover cop, and Caroline ends up under arrest - for solicitation!

Tony DiMarco realizes too late that he's made a mistake. Caroline's reputation and business are suffering, and he feels responsible. He feels something else, too - the pull of red-hot desire. He wants Caroline, but she's afraid that he's just trying to make up for his mistake. Can this determined vice cop teach her to trust again?

Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language.
