Operation: Burlesque — Michelle Fox

Aspiring costume designer Ruby Palmer prefers to hide behind-the-scenes, keeping life at a distance. But when she signs on to work as a seamstress for the steamy Cirque D'Amour, the spotlight won't take no for an answer, and neither will the circus' handsome, enigmatic magician, Blake Cannon.

She's watched him from afar for months, dreaming, but never daring to hope he would look her way. When he finally does notice her, they share one unforgettable night, but, the next morning, Ruby finds her hopes of a new romance cruelly dashed. There's trouble at her door and she learns Blake is tangled up in dangerous lies.

Before Ruby knows it, she's sucked into an underworld she never asked to join, one filled with sleight of hand, intrigue and exotic destinations. It is a world that will kill her if it can…all in the name of love.

Full length BBW romance. NO cliffhanger!

Operation: Burlesque is the novelization of the Burlesque serial (Cirque D' Amour, Magic in Morocco and Love's Sahara).
