About this ebook

When a gorgeous young dancer walks through his door, a strip club owner must decide whether to follow his rules or his heart in the third novel by the author of One Tiny Lie and Ten Tiny Breaths.

Owning a strip club isn’t the fantasy most guys expect it to be. With long hours, a staff with enough issues to keep a psych ward in business, and the police regularly on his case, twenty-nine-year-old Cain is starting to second-guess his unspoken mission to save the women he employs. And then blond, brown-eyed Charlie Rourke walks through his door, and things get really complicated. Cain abides by a strict “no sleeping with his staff” rule. But being around Charlie challenges Cain’s self-control...and it’s been a long time since any woman has done that.

Twenty-two-year-old Charlie Rourke needs a lot of money, really fast, in order to vanish before it’s too late. Taking her clothes off for men makes her stomach curl, but Charlie tells herself that at least she’s putting her acting and dancing skills to good use. And though her fellow dancers seem eager to nab their sexy, sophisticated, and genuinely caring boss, she’s not interested. After all, Charlie Rourke doesn’t really exist—and the girl pretending to be her can’t get distracted by romance.

Unfortunately, Charlie soon discovers that developing feelings for Cain is inevitable, and that those feelings may not be unrequited—but losing him when he finds out what she’s involved with will be more painful than any other sentence awaiting her.

Ratings and reviews

I have finshed the previous two books, which is my first discovery of just how amazing and obssed I am of" ten tiny breaths " as well as" one tiny lie". That regardless of where this book starts off or, leads to . My only comment is, "thank- you for inspiring me to continue reading, I took a long break and your series is one of the first that has been one that I cant put down for a second" hands down favorite n all over recommendations on my part.

Loved the love story and the characters. Just finished it but will be starting it again very soon. I did skip through some of the self talk... felt like it was drawn out a little in parts but definitely LOVED the book.

Their story may be interesting as well as an update on the Cleary sisters. I really enjoyed their stories. Been should find someone...soft spot for him.
