Stripping Her Gears - Sahara Kelly - Bog

Cora Standish is in desperate need of money to pay off an IRS bill. Through no fault of her own, she's in debt and a second job is the only answer. When she learns that a new private club is opening and needs waitresses, it seems like the answer to her prayers. The waitresses have to be able to sing and dance - and Cora's been dancing since she was a toddler. Jack Brandon, the owner of Goggles and Cogs, is thrilled with the success of his new club and fascinated by a certain blonde. After a few weeks he admits to himself he's got a major crush, but it isn't until a special event is booked that matters between him and Cora come to a head. The bachelor party requires something "special" in the way of entertainment. Best described as burlesque, it's something Cora and her friends aren't sure about...but damn, the extra money would really help. Grabbing her ostrich feather fans, Cora joins two other women and puts on a show that is guaranteed to keep a bachelor party smiling. But right before the final moment, a storm kills the power and Jack and Cora take advantage of the darkness and the heat between them. Cora lap dances her way into Jack's arms and Jack takes Cora beyond any physical sensations she's ever imagined. It's a night of storms, both outside and inside Goggles and Cogs. And the result might separate these two lovers for ever, unless Cora can learn to forgive Jack...and herself.
