In this steamy novel from Carolina Garcia-Aguilera, the author of the Lupe Solano Mysteries spins a tale of a young woman's introduction in to a world of power plays and passion hailed as an "engaging tale of what unexpected choices can be made when one's back is against the wall" (Publishers Weekly).
Magnolia Lawson is at the end of her rope in of Miami. After following her love-turned-louse boyfriend from Minnesota to the steamy city, the kindly Catholic girl is fast running out of money, options, and hope. Then she meets Oona—a woman who sees a potential in Magnolia she herself never dared to imagine.
Oona sees an incredible future for Magnolia as a "sports geisha"—a very specialized profession whose sole responsibility is to keep the strongest, fasted, most skilled athletes at the top of their game by keeping their every other need satisfied. And though at first Magnolia feels completely overwhelmed, she soon finds herself growing into a young woman of many talents both in and out of the bedroom.
Soon, Magnolia becomes a power player in her own right, at home both in the streets and in Miami's circles of influence. But the higher she rises, the more she begins to wonder if she's living a lie instead of the life she really wanted... with a may she really loves.
