Rookie New Orleans agent Akela must prove herself by making a successful arrest. But her assignment takes a dark turn when she finds herself at the mercy of her #1 suspect a wickedly sensual man she has no reason to trustand no will to resist.

DANGEROUS LIAISONSthe series name alone brings all sorts of decadent images to mind, doesn't it? Now add New Orleans' French Quarter and the sultry Louisiana bayous to the mix and, well, you end up with a recipe base that's guaranteed to be hot, hot, hot.

The two match wits at every turn. Only, Akela is completely unprepared for the doors of sexual wonders Claude opens up to her. But as the story unfolds, Claude begins to wonder exactly who is possessing whom.
