The Lion of Frenchman Street — Teresa Noelle Roberts

On Kelsey's first night tending bar at a New Orleans jazz club, she catches the eye of handsome saxophonist -- and Dominant -- Peter Lyons. He sweeps her into his world of music and kinky sex, introducing her to fierce pleasures she's always dreamed of. As they explore the crazy, romantic city she comes to love as much as he does, she's falling hard for Peter, too. Even though he claims “true love” is for songs, not real life, it's hard to resist his rope skills and his vintage movie star looks, his passion for life and the hints of pain in his blue eyes.

But Kelsey's only tending bar as a stopgap. When she's offered a dream job out of town, Peter's old scars break open and everything goes out of tune. Can music, passion, and the magic of New Orleans get them back in harmony?
