Publisher's Synopsis
Reese has worked the same job since high school and spends each evening staring at the neon lady advertising the Rouge Palace, a burlesque he's never dared venture. When his pride is insulted, he finds the courage to step across the threshold and finds far more than he bargained for. Millie Rae illuminates the monotony of his days with her dancing and kind heart, but Naomi, Rouge Palace's owner, steals his nights away after Reese witnesses an altercation over drug money. He is thrust into a world of gang territories and deadly threats, and ensuring Millie Rae's safety is the only thing keeping him from running. But how long can he last in this new world of escalating violence? And how far is he willing to go to protect those he cares about?
