Did Anna make enemies through her previous job at the town\'s exclusive gentlemen\'s club? And can Odessa rule out her own ex-fiancé--who\'s back in her life with an astounding connection to Anna--and wanting a second chance? Finding the answers will come at an increasingly deadly cost--one Odessa\'s talents must somehow trap a killer to repay .
