Careful What You Kiss For
by Jane Lynne DanielsWhat if you could change one mistake you made when you were young?<P><P> With the help of one well-intentioned best friend and one bumbling psychic, Tensley gets a ''do-over.''

When he sees his first love dancing in the strip club he’s assigned to investigate, he’s torn between getting her as far away from the place as he can and needing her help as a club insider. There are only two things he knows for sure - she’s stirring up feelings he thought he’d buried long ago and a relationship with a stripper/police informant would be career suicide.<P> Tensley’s falling all over again for the man who broke her heart years ago. Now that history seems to be repeating itself, she wants a do-over of her do-over! But what she doesn’t know is that life and love have a way of taking their own surprising turns. And sometimes what you think is your worst mistake might not be a mistake at all.
