The Union of Haunted Hearts — Kat Barrett

They grew up in different worlds, but Lacey Griffin and Anthony "Tareg" Tarragon Delmonico are both haunted by their pasts. She works for the law firm that her late husband was a partner in, and he is a male stripper with dreams of rekindling his modeling career. Despite their opposing lives, they seem perfect for one another, until Tareg takes Lacey to a calendar shoot in California. What neither of them knows is that Tareg's ex-wife Anna is running the shoot and she wants Tareg back. Anna has the power to destroy Tareg's future, and Lacey flies home fearing the worst. Tareg is coming home. His career is safe, and it seems that there is hope for their love, but when Lacey discovers him in the airport bathroom with his face crushed and beaten, will love be enough?
