Memphis lingerie queen Delaney Walker is renowned for her design of erotic lingerie, but she has always found her creations too sexy to wear herself. However, that changes when her fianc Roger the banker jilts her. Delaney decides to go through with the boudoir photographs that she previously commissioned as a present for Roger.



Photographer Sam Martelli knows that whether it is through the camera's eye or his own lens, Delaney heats up his insides. A professional used to taking pictures of scantily clad beautiful women, none have gotten into his gut and a nameless other place than Delaney has and she has not changed into that flimsy silk yet. He wants her and fate is on his side so that he has her for at least one night, but must persuade her that he needs a lifetime getting inside her drawers.



Delaney seems an odd off kilter mix that readers will accept as eccentricity and readers will adore her almost as much as they will this sizzling romance. Sam is a delightful protagonist who sees his beloved as sexy without the need of the camera as his "tripod" proves when he pictures Delaney in and out of her creations. The heroine is a nice person deserving better than Roger the dodger and hopefully she will see that Sam is the one. The story line is played for fun with hot sex that will toast the reader.
