sexy story

This story opens with Swan McKenna interviewing models for her men's underwear line. Since most of the models have come in costume, when a very sexy telephone repairman walks through the door, Swan thinks he's another model with stage freight and helps him to shed his clothes. Only when the pants come down and he's not wearing a pair of her underwear (or any underwear for that matter) does she realize this is really a telephone repairman. The story only gets better from there.The repairman is actually Rob Gaines an FBI agent who is trying to gather information in a five million dollar embezzlement case. Swan of course is an innocent dupe in the whole embezzlement. The loan officer who gave Swan and her partner a loan to keep their business afloat, hid a cashiers check in an organizer he gave Swan as a gift. Rather than go to jail, Swan agrees to let her three-store fashion tour be used to smoke out the loan officer's accomplice. The only problem is that without the loan (which was also fake), there is no money to pay models for the tour. Swan convinces her assistant Gerard, Rob and Rob's partner Joe to model for her. The resulting fashion show is a riot.The sexual tension between Swan and Rob sizzles. Comic relief is provided by Rob's partner Joe and Swan's assistant Gerard.

mixes heat with humor in a tale filled with plenty of heart

Swan McKenna has worked hard at making a success of her company Brief Encounters, whose prime product is sexy men's underwear. Now that she is about to see the fruit of her labor looming on the horizon with her Los Angeles show, she is accused of stealing five million dollars.Special Agent Rob Gaines is assigned to watch over Swan. She, in turn, sees the hunk as an opportunity by having him model her new line. To convince a prim and proper Fed is hard enough, especially one who is supposed to catch you in the act of committing a crime. However, to fall in love with a white-underwear hero is too much to ask of Swan or is it.Suzanne Foster mixes heat with humor in a tale filled with plenty of heart (and of course underwear). The story line is fun to follow due to two delightful amusing lead characters regardless of the underwear they wear. The moral of this tale is that mom was right in telling us to wear clean underwear. However, on the other hand (avoid the obvious pun), her reasoning of in case of an accident is inane as it should have been in case of getting lucky.Harriet Klausner
