Books like Ladies Night by Christian Keyes

Amp Anthony, a strong‑willed and ruggedly handsome ex‑convict, struggles to reintegrate into society under the watchful eye of a parole officer who would rather send him back to prison. Unable to secure conventional employment because of his record, Amp turns to the lucrative world of exotic dancing at Club Eden, where he quickly becomes one of the hottest male performers. The club’s owner, Madam Fox, is a savvy entrepreneur who helps him navigate the challenges of the entertainment industry. While keeping his job strictly business, Amp’s path crosses with a talented female DJ who attracts his attention. The budding relationship forces both to confront the taboo of mixing business with pleasure and test whether true connection can survive amidst the trappings of sex work. Through humor, drama, and an authentic look at the difficulties ex‑convicts face, this story traces Amp’s determination to break free from his past and find a new future.
