<p>Dorian Grant is king of the New Orleans underworld, but he isn't mafia and doesn't appreciate the assumption. He's simply a crude businessman anyone in his right mind would think twice about screwing over. Life in the Big Easy is all about sin, and violent, short-tempered Dorian has committed them all.</p>

<p>But not all New Orleans sins leave a bad taste in the mouth, as Dorian discovers the night a man stage-named Sweet Heat dances into his life at a club called Sin and Seduction. Dorian was expecting a hot lay. He damn sure wasn't looking for a relationship, and certainly not with someone like Jansen, who turns Dorian's grimly organized world upside down.</p>

<p>Now Dorian finds himself pressuring Jansen to quit his job because he can't stand the thought of other men touching what's his. Of course, Jansen wants a little quid pro quo-after all, Dorian's job is dangerous. Jansen just doesn't realize how dangerous until it's too late.</p>
