The Strip

The latest from Salem (Tan Lines) offers an absorbing plot and enough erotica to heat up any cold winter evening. In Las Vegas, bestselling author Kristin Fox, marriage and family therapist Jennifer Payne, and casino song-and-dance star Billie Shelton seem blessed with money, fame, and fortune, but behind closed doors each woman struggles with a lackluster, loveless marriage. Enter Cam Lawford, a retired NFL stud turned high-priced escort. Though each woman hires Cam hoping for a no-strings-attached moment of well-deserved pleasure, nothing is as easy as it seems—not even in Sin City. Soon, all three women are engulfed in a web of jealousy, lies, and murder. Believable characters, witty dialogue, and timely details invigorate this saucy, fast-paced novel. (Nov.)
