By day, she teaches them how to find their voice. By night, she becomes the woman who finally found hers.
Ava Monroe is a dedicated high school teacher who has spent years feeling invisible. But when the sun goes down, Ava becomes Desire-a confident, captivating exotic dancer who commands attention from the moment she steps into the spotlight.
Behind the makeup and mask, Desire can be everything Ava is afraid to be: bold, sensual, fearless, and impossible to ignore.
Then Ethan Cole walks into the club.
Ethan is Ava's coworker-and the man she's secretly loved for years. At school, he barely seems to notice her. But the moment he sees Desire, he's captivated by the mysterious woman behind the mask.
There's only one problem.
He has no idea Ava and Desire are the same woman.
As Ethan grows closer to both sides of her, Ava's carefully separated worlds begin to collide. The longer she keeps her secret, the more she risks losing the man she's always wanted.
And when the truth threatens to become public, Ava could lose much more than Ethan. Her career, reputation, and the life she's spent years building are suddenly on the line.
Now Ava must decide whether protecting the woman everyone expects her to be is worth sacrificing the woman she's finally learned to love.
