Temptation, Part One — Casey L. Bond

My name is Brooklyn Harris. In my life, I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of, but I am proud of my life. I just need to figure out what to do with the rest of it. I'm a burlesque dancer at an exclusive Vegas club. That fact, along with the teensy weensy misdemeanor on my record, means the cops don't exactly trust me when I say someone is stalking me.

But he is. He leaves things everywhere, has invaded my home and my life. Things are starting to escalate and I'm not even going to lie. I'm scared. So my best friend, Sin, has this plan: skip town and let the police work and her dad call in a few favors. Let someone try to find this guy before he finds me. I'm going along with it. But, only until I can figure out how to fight back.

Landing in the tiny town of Swift Rapids, Virginia wasn't really part of the plan. My admirer found me in New York City, so Sin and I had to make tracks. The sexy cop in town? He's everywhere. I can't stop bumping into him and I can't get him out of my head. Colt Stone is hard as a rock and just as stubborn. I need to get laid, learn to shoot a gun and take my life back -- in that order.

Intended for mature audiences.
