Titus Williamson has it all: wealth, a successful business, a beautiful home, a luxury car—and an unfaithful wife. Unhappy and wounded, he drives in search of distraction from his woes. At Club Mikki, he’s sure he’ll find just what he needs to forget his life for a while. The gentlemen’s club is infamous in Atlanta, with a strong reputation for the most beautiful women and attentive service—perfect for Titus’s state of mind. Cheyenne has needs: a steady job, a better apartment—a better life. Her childhood was less than ideal, and her love life now isn’t much better. Out of necessity and circumstance, she started selling herself on the street. Her small waist and lush hips are in high demand. Soon, she’s saved enough to go after her dreams. Having packed up her things and gone in search of that better life in Atlanta, she’s now a popular shake dancer at Club Mikki—and in competition with another dancer named Teresa. Teresa’s life has placed too many worries on her young shoulders, and now she’s searching for an answer to her prayers. Her beloved grandmother is languishing in a low-class hospice, and Teresa knows she’d do almost anything to earn the money to save her grandmother’s life and dignity. Inspired by a talk show about exotic dancers, she puts her own fears aside to pursue work as a shake dancer. When Titus falls for Teresa, neither can predict what will happen—but everyone finds staying on the right path easier said than done.
