Synopsis:
Grace Barry leads a double life. By day, she's a smart, savvy financial consultant. By night...a sultry, seductive, paid escort providing fantasy sex to New York City's wealthiest financiers. Grace, a.k.a., Ginger, arrives at her clients' hotel rooms in her office clothes, looking like one of their own, but tucked away in her handbag are her sheepskin lined handcuffs and little whips.
One evening's sojourn to wealthy stockbroker Mark Chase's hotel room changes Grace's life forever. She slips her card key into the door...and discovers Mark's dead body sprawled on the floor. Fear makes her run, straight into the arms of FBI agent Alex Winter—a man with a deadly secret…a man whose heart is as cold as ice. Now, Ginger must raise money for her defence. In a bold move, she offers her private diary for sale to any news channel willing to pay.
Alex Winters' frozen heart matches his ice-blue eyes...and his name. His fellow agents call him 'Iceman' and he has no patience for beautiful, scheming murderers like Ginger Berry. She's the #1 suspect in the death of wealthy financier Mark Chase, but Alex's fascination and attraction to the scheming call girl gets in the way of his investigation. As Alex unlocks the secrets surrounding Mark Chase's death, he unwittingly places Ginger in danger. When her life is threatened, it will be up to Alex to protect her, and keep her from publishing her diary of a mad escort.
The Diary of a Mad Escort is filled with suspenseful fast paced action. Catherine Chernow tells the story of one woman’s goal to free herself from the ties of men, by becoming independent and wealthy. Only one little problem here – the way she goes about it is just a teensy weensy bit illegal since she’s a high priced “facilitator.” See in and around New York City and Long Island, we see the life of Grace Barry aka Ginger Berry through the words she writes in her diary as well as following along as she tries to extricate herself from a very bad night.
Accused and arrested for killing one of her clients, Grace sells her diary to afford the retainer of the best lawyer she can find. The only problem is that by putting that information out into the public domain she has put her life on the line.
Enter the "Iceman," tall, blond, gorgeous with eyes of pure ice, FBI agent Alex Winters is determined to make her pay for her crimes as well as destroy the escort company she works for. What Alex didn’t count on what that Grace was the first woman ever who can melt his icy walls and steal his heart.
Filled with ups and downs and more sexual tension than you’d believe possible, the Diary of a Mad Escort is a great story. I loved Grace and Alex, they were so well matched in their stubbornness as well as the pain they tried to hide from their pasts. One other bonus -- I learned more about aphrodisiacs than I had in my life so far, and how can that be a bad thing?

SWEET APHRODISIACS...

Many sweets are considered strong aphrodisiacs. Chocolate was once thought so powerful that it was forbidden to proper young ladies. Chocolate covered mints are double aphrodisiacs. Mint as an aphrodisiac? You bet! The ancient Greeks, specifically Aristotle, advised Alexander the Great not to allow his soldiers to drink mint tea during campaigns because he believed it to be an aphrodisiac. So here's my advice: Get out a great big bowl and fill it with chocolate covered mints. Ummmm...if it were my choice, I'd give my special someone dark chocolate covered mints, but hey - it's entirely up to you, as long as you combine the chocolate and the mint. And remember, I've heard that you shouldn't put the chocolate covered mints in a crystal bowl because crystal aides in clear thinking. You don't want to inspire clear thinking, you want to inspire sensual thinking. So, no crystal, please. And...have a great time.
