Nessa Dahl lives a sensible life – until, that is, Jeremiah MacNaught comes to town and enlists her help to investigate a string of bank robberies. Only Mac realizes that beneath Nessa’s no-nonsense exterior exists an outlaw spirit, and between them burns a passion far hotter than a sultry summer night. But when she discovers that the handsome investigator is undercover, lying to her about his identity and convinced she’s involved with the crimes, he’ll learn what thigh high in trouble really means…. “A book by Christina Dodd is like a glass of champagne…sparkling and sinfully delicious.” – Lisa Kleypas

"My first Christina Dodd title - I enjoyed the look at New Orleans and especially loved the love scene in the fault. It's rare to come across a love scene in romance that really surprises you. I especially enjoyed this one. I'd love to read more of Dodd's work. "
— Amber (4 out of 5 stars)
" This book is FUNNY! With a cast of zany characters, the heroine is beloved in post-Katrina New Orleans, and the hero suspects she is robbing his banks. During Mardi Gras, Laissez le bon temps rouler! "
— Shari, 2/17/2014" This book made me want to read the Anne Rice Mayfair Witches book again, it brought out the best in New Orleans. "
— Amber, 2/14/2014" Hero is a curmudgeonly bank president. Heroine is a sweet bank exec--but not a manager--in New Orleans, where hero's banks get robbed of specific amounts every Mardi Gras by what appear to be cross-dressing robbers. He's convinced it's the heroine who is at least masterminding the robberies, and after several years of them, he comes to New Orleans to prove it. And gets swept into the heroine's circle and the Southern tradition. It's a fun read with a good mystery. "
