Sirena is a beautiful young woman. By night she strips at Silky Femmes, enticing large tips from conventioneers and salesmen passing through the small Florida city where she lives.

Sirena is also a loyal and compassionate friend to the denizens of Silky Femmes. There’s Chrissie, who is a fellow dancer as well as the boss’s abused and beleaguered girlfriend. And Ross, the bartender, who spends a lot of time worrying about the petite, delicate, and lovely Sirena. Maybe too much time.

There’s also Detective Williams. He’s looking for a missing man and his investigation takes him to Silky’s. Like so many others, he finds Sirena irresistible. But again, like so many others, he’s underestimated Sirena.

Because Sirena has a hobby. Not just any hobby. From the stage she searches out men with the solid bone structure she requires. The ones she picks get to go home with her where she will perform one last private strip for them. They can’t believe their luck. They simply don’t realize it’s just run out.
