{"product_id":"book-hfjn","title":"Tough Guy","description":"\u003cp\u003eMy sister lives to ruin my life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat isn't fair. It's not her fault our dance instructor called me fat and awkward, and our parents funded Lisa's training because I had a better head for business.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo when Lisa went off the rails after her injury, it naturally came to me to track her down. The trail starts at the Spearmint Rhino - an upscale gentlemen's club five minutes off the Las Vegas strip, where a group of hot Aussie soccer players are having a bachelor party. Hello, Chance Bateman! My sister still wears his jersey as a nightgown. However, Lisa's trail goes cold at Dalton's, which is owned by a world-famous bouncer, Miles Carvello - six feet four inches of muscle, tattoos, and swagger. Combined with his intense green-eyed gaze, Miles makes my insides sizzle. I'm just not sure if Miles Carvello is the reason she's hiding out or not. Danger seems to surround him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow does a former Broadway hoofer wind up in Vegas as a stripper? I'm about to find out, since no one will talk to me because I'm an outsider. And besides, Miles thinks I'm too much of a prude to do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI need to find my sister. She's in trouble. I can feel it. I keep running into the bachelor party as well as Miles while I'm out searching for her. And while both of them are a good time, they're not getting me any closer to finding Lisa. And I've got a terrible feeling that her time is running out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e ***\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI don't remember Jackie Mitchell's sister. Just another stripper with baggage in a long line of them. But Jackie? Damn, she's the real deal. I don't want to get distracted. I need to shoot this club into the stratosphere. I owe it to my uncle's memory not to let the gangsters win. But she oozes sensuality that reminds me that I should take time to enjoy the finer things in life - like her long, toned legs wrapped around my shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, the demons of my past are pushing into my future. If they're going after my employees, as a way to get to me - they picked the wrong guy to mess with. And if they touch Jackie, all bets are off, and I'll put them in the ground - and to hell with the consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTough Guy\u003c\/i\u003e takes place a year before the events of \u003ci\u003eCocky Bastard\u003c\/i\u003e and features a few appearances by our favorite Aussie soccer player, Chance Bateman, before he meets the love of his life, Aubrey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Audible","offers":[{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":67915094786352,"sku":"ZEhfjn","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD [10]","offer_id":49354208215344,"sku":"10hfjn","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/hfjn-Square-cover.webp?v=1790853126","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-hfjn","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
