Saving the Bellydancer - Parmley, Debra

. .

Résumé :
Much to his grandmother's annoyance, Navy SEAL Tony Cutter Cuttino has a thing for strippers. But, for him, it's all about their grace and athleticism. Grandma wants to see him happily settled down with a wife and babies. Unfortunately, Tony can't find anyone who holds his attention. Until he meets Zarifah. Edith Smith took the stage name Zarifah after transitioning from a competitive gymnast to an American belly dancer. Her ex thinks he can put an engagement ring on her finger and demand she gives up dancing. He has another thing coming. Their breakup turns violent, with her ex being arrested and Edith swearing she never wants to see him again. But her ex isn't ready to give up. When Cutter and Zarifah meet, the chemistry between them is electric. Zarifah adores how supportive he is of her dancing, while Cutter is thrilled he can take the woman of his dreams home to meet his grandmother. The start of their happily-ever-after is threatened when Zarifah's ex storms one of her performances with a loaded weapon. Little does he know there is a Navy SEAL in the audience who will do whatever it takes to protect Zarifah.
