Protecting Zarifah by Debra Parmley
Book starts out with an intro about Shimmy Mob-I had never heard of this being up here in northeast. What an idea!
Synopsis from the author is included.
Story follows Zarifah a gymnastic teacher who also belly dances with a group of women.
She has many friends and they are there for one another. After her ex fiance almost kills her, police come and a restraining order she can breathe a sigh of relief...
Story also follows Cutter whose grandmother can't wait to see him married with children. She lets him know he will NOT find the right women in the strippers hes' been dating. He attends an event one night with his buddy and they experience the dancers and learn a bit about their customs, traditions and culture.
He is taken with Zarifah and ends up running into her at many local places and they share many meals or a coffee.
He learns of the mob event and he agrees to video tape it as it will be a world wide event-this is so cool!
Love that she shared her secret of her ex with her friend and she comes to her rescue keeping her safe.
Love location of the womens' shelter and all it stands for.
SEAL alpha Cutter is always prepared not only with his weapons but knowledge of what to look for to keep others safe.
