Tracy Adamson, the best friend from "At Last" is back in this novel by Lisa G. Riley. We meet the outspoken African-American again as she's sneaking out of a Parisian apartment after indulging in a one-night stand with Jacques, a white Frenchman whom she believes she'll never see again. Mortified by her behavior, she flies home to Chicago.

Jaques Winthrop, also a character from "At Last," is a French-American federal agent and is only in Paris to track down an American fugitive, but finds himself irresistibly drawn to Tracy. A ladies' man who enjoys having no ties to women, Jaques decides to seduce her and let her believe that he lives in France. No one is more surprised than he that he can't stop thinking about her. And when he wakes up to find her gone after their one explosive night together, the amount of disappointment he feels stuns him.

Dealing with personal issues of race and color from her past, fair-skinned Tracy is determined not to get involved with a white man. Gorgeous Jacques who for the first time in his life is interested in more than just sex with a woman, is determined to change her mind.

In the meantime, Jacques has lost the trail of Alexander Brickman, the criminal mastermind who created havoc for his best friend in "At Last."
