elling author Niobia Bryant brings you the sizzling, sexy, twist-a-minute follow-up to Madam, May I, in which Manhattan's most exclusive madam discovers her past is back with a vengeance . . .

Billionaire celebrity clients, anything-goes erotic nights, seductive betrayals--Desdemona Dean couldn't wait to leave the high-end prostitution game behind. Now settled down with the only man she's ever loved, Desi is getting the chances her shattered childhood denied her--and making her life truly her own. Until a basketball superstar publicly credits Madam X's unmatched sexual services for his astonishing career. Add an anonymous tip to the police--and suddenly Desi is in the center of a social and tabloid media firestorm . . .

Knowing others' secret desires has always kept Desi safe--and hiding her own wrenching past is the only protection she could ever trust. But her lies are taking her relationship apart piece by piece, keeping her only seconds ahead of the police--and exposing her to a malicious blackmailer determined to destroy her for good . . .

Now Desi will need all her nerve and cool, calculating bravado to take down her enemies and outmaneuver the law. But once she reveals who she used to be, can she survive the consequences to hold on to the woman she's become?
