But when Solange meets sexy, gorgeous private investigator Dane Roarke, she quickly realizes how difficult it will be to resist temptation…

Scandal forced Dane to walk away from the FBI and head to San Antonio, where he accepted a job at his cousins’ private detective agency. Just as his life appears to be getting back on track, a beautiful mystery woman walks through the door of Roarke Investigations—and turns his world upside down. Dane knows he must have Solange, and boldly sets out to seduce her. But when he discovers a shocking secret about her true identity, will he risk losing her heart by keeping the truth from her?

When Ph.D. student Rebecca Edmonds begins moonlighting as a waitress at a gentlemen's club as part of a research project, the last thing she expects is to meet the man of her dreams. For the past four years, she has been focused on completing her dissertation and landing a tenured faculty position at a prestigious Baltimore university. She hasn't had the time—or inclination—to fantasize about Mr. Right...until sexier-than-sin Vince McCall sits at one of her tables and orders a glass of whiskey—and a private audience with Rebecca. Although Rebecca is scandalized by the stranger's bold request, she's even more shocked to find herself agreeing to it—and a whole lot more. Vince makes her feel alive, desired and more seductive than any of the exotic dancers who take to the stage every night. Soon the scholarly waitress is serving more than drinks to her handsome customer, and is experiencing pleasures beyond her wildest fantasies....

Baltimore detective Vince McCall has gone undercover to investigate illegal activities at the local nightclub. His assignment is to expose the illicit conduct of the club owner, not engage in an illicit affair with the hired help. But the moment scantily-clad Rebecca Edmonds appears at his table, Vince's libido kicks into overdrive. The only thing he wants to investigate is how quickly he can get Rebecca into his bed—or hers. As he sets out on a mission to school the straitlaced student on the art of seduction, he isn't prepared for how hard and fast he falls for her. But when Rebecca learns that Vince has been lying to her about his true identity, will she send him packing...or let the erotic lessons continue?
