A sexy mystery involving midlife crises, shady real estate deals and the sensual nature of the foot and shoe.

When successful podiatrist Paul Archway finds his voluptuous new neighbor, Valerie Vaughn, bathing in his hot tub one evening, he has no clue how she and her volatile real estate developer husband will alter his family, his reputation--even potentially, the city he calls home.

From the moment he takes her perfect wet foot into his hands, she sparks a midlife crisis into a firestorm that nearly consumes Archway and all the people around him--his talented wife who is determined to assert her self-identity, his independent teenage daughter dating a college boy, his smoldering surgical resident struggling to maintain a strictly professional relationship and his most powerful patient and benefactor, a federal district court judge who must render one of the most important decisions of his career.

Archway unlocks Valerie's passion through her feet and she experiences sensations she's only brushed the surface of through years of pedicures and shoe-shopping.

Feet shape the story and define most of the characters. Their explosive sensuality, athletic prowess, even physical well-being drive the novel's twists and turns--and their feet open the doors to unbelievable pleasure, as well as unimagined pain.

Throw in a shady $800 million real estate deal involving an Indian nation's casino operations--plus the shocking discovery of a controversial historical document--and you have all the elements of a what's-going-to-happen-next erotic caper with an unexpected climax.

Hidden agendas, unexpected complications and suspicions about who is behind the surprising turns of events keep Archway--and you--guessing until the last page.
