Four Seconds to Lose

Owning a strip club isn’t the real-life fantasy most guys expect it to be. With long hours, a staff with enough issues to keep a psych ward in business, and the police checking up on him regularly, twenty-nine year old Cain is starting to second guess his silent mission to save these women. That is, until a tiny angel named Charlie walks through his door. Blonde and blue-eyed, sweet as can be, this dancer’s sad smile opens up old wounds. She reminds him so much of Penny. Nineteen year old Charlie’s mother was wrong. She is good for something. That something may be taking her clothes off for men but at least it’s something. And she really is good at it. She has fans who cheer her on and come back week after week. And then there’s Cain, her gorgeous boss. So sweet, so gentle. All he wants is to make her life better: like for her to get her G.E.D. and a safer apartment, for starter's. She wonders about him, sometimes...but he never touches her. Never. And she’s glad because if Cain knew what her other boss made her do, he’d never look at her again. While Cain refuses to be that creepy strip club boss who messes around with his staff, he can't stop himself from being attracted to Charlie. Yet as he helps her turn her life around, he discovers that Charlie is headed down a dangerous path, one that will force Cain to decide whether standing on principle is worth losing the woman he's falling for...
