Leslie Morgan is an entertainer, a call girl to rich clients helping them act out their fantasies. She works at a place called Club Fantasy where only the more financially well off can meet her high prices. Leslie enjoys her work, but lately finds the excitement is not quite there anymore. Realizing she needs some rest, Leslie decides to head for the shores of Connecticut to a place called Sound’s End for a vacation.

Brad DeVane is a New York police officer who has been injured while answering a domestic call. Physically, Brad is recovering, but mentally he is having trouble adjusting, so the department is sending him to the shore for some rest. His superiors want him to discreetly obtain information about the Club Fantasy cliental from Leslie. However, Brad has a little problem; he is starting to fall for her.

Leslie is a prostitute who enjoys her life, but needing a rest, takes a vacation to Sound’s End. She meets some interesting people who seem to like her. One in particular is a cop named Brad. Leslie is unaware that Brad knows the truth about her, though. Things become heated between the two and a relationship develops. Then everyone learns the truth about Leslie, causing Brad and her to question continuing their relationship. However, a crisis occurs, bringing everyone together.

This author has chosen a very interesting idea to write a book about. In the beginning, I was skeptically how Ms. Lloyd could pull this tale off. However, she did manage to create a romance story about a character who is a call girl that I found likeable and very fascinating. These characters meshed quite well together and the sexual situations were very hot. I hope everyone enjoys reading this book as much as me.
