Description
CALLIE BAKER is working undercover for the FBI, hoping to take down some of the most despicable men in the seedy underbelly of New York City. But after nearly two years of pretending to be a foul-mouthed waitress in a strip club, she's afraid she's lost track of who she really is. Until the night her former partner walks into the club.MATT REGAN is an NYPD detective with no life to speak of, which is why he's working late on a Friday night. That's when he sees a woman in a club who reminds him of his old partner, the one he hasn't quit thinking about over the past two years. And when it turns out to actually be her, doing an undercover stint, he can't hide his pleasure over seeing her again.Neither the fact that he's a cop, nor his interest in Callie go unnoticed by her boss, BC. Callie has to do some quick thinking to explain how she knows a cop, so she suggests that Matt's dirty. That's how it all began. BC wants Matt on his payroll, and he decided Callie's the one to get him there. Within twenty-four hours of walking into the club, Matt's suddenly submersed in Callie's investigation, taking on a cover of his own: a cop on the take, getting paid for information in the form of cash. And Callie. Lovers for show at the club, Matt and Callie reestablish their friendship from two years ago, and slowly become lovers for real, doing their best to bring the investigation to a close without blowing their covers, as well as trying to keep Matt's involvement from his boss and partner. Maneuvering through the minefield of subterfuge, they uncover a much greater operation than initially expected, with unknown players coming to the forefront, and the stakes are suddenly not just their careers, but their lives as well.
