Black Dahlia

Love wasn't for me until I needed his protection...

I swore that I would never fall in love. Not after I watched my publicly devout father privately cheat on my mother for decades. My aim in life was to enjoy it, working as an assistant principal by day and performing as a burlesque dancer at night.

Not even when the sexy and charming Raul Santiago walks into my life am I tempted to unlock my heart. But I am willing to spend the night with him. Unfortunately, that plan goes awry when Raul proves to be a liar.

However, when trouble arises, and someone makes me the center of their obsession, Raul ends up being the one person I can rely on for protection. And with days spent in Raul's home, him teaching me about his Brazilian heritage and nights with him watching over me at each of my performances, the wall around my heart starts to crumble.

Yet will Raul's protection be enough? Because the person after me is determined to go right through him to get to me.

**Black Dahlia is a multicultural romance. It is the second book in the Black Burlesque Series but can be read as a standalone.**
