recommended, and has been very active since he joined.”
    “I’ll bet.” She snorted. “And here I thought he was your average, garden-variety gay man…”
    Del choked. Alejandro resisted the urge to laugh himself. Shanna swatted his shoulder. “Okay. I get from this DVD that’s not true. You two can stop snickering now.”
    Alejandro couldn’t resist her ruffled feathers for another second. He was dying to soothe them…right before he melted her.
    “What about any of my former dance partners?” She directed the question to Alejandro. Not that she suspected Jonathan, but the first two hated her. “Do you know who they are?”
    “No and yes. None of your former partners are members.”
    “Hmm.” Shanna bit a pink, bee-stung lip as she thought. “Have any of your other members indicated this breach of privacy has been a problem for them?”
    “Hell no! And we’ve established that the person who took the footage

    isn’t one of your competitors, but it’s clearly someone who knows something about your world of ballroom dance. About you and what you value.”
    “Yes,” Del agreed. “Someone who knew that competition was coming up soon and that the judges would punish you if such a DVD was circulating. Someone who knew that competition was important to you.”
    “Any ideas who among your members that could be?” Shanna prompted.
    Again, Alejandro looked at Del, who looked at him. “Not a clue. I could ask you the same question. Who are your enemies?”
    Shanna’s blue eyes darted around, as if scanning her memories. “No one else I can think of. If it’s not a former partner or a competitor, I can’t think of anyone who hates me enough to want to destroy me like this.”
    “Well, if any guest was a friend of one of your former partners or competitors, we have no way of knowing.”
    “True…” Shanna nibbled nervously on a hangnail, then, as if realizing she’d done something less than perfect, she stopped. “What about your employees? Any of them have access to video cameras and those rooms?”
    Del shook his head. “We have four types of employees: security, maid service, wait staff and bartenders. That’s it. They are paid to be invisible unless they’re needed. None of those employees should be anywhere near a room when it’s in use. All the watching and exhibiting is done for and with fellow members.”
    “So, another dead end…”
    “It appears,” Del agreed, then looked Alejandro’s way. His buddy had the glint of the devil in his eyes. “That we need to draw this blackmailer out.”
    “Have Kristoff come back and do it again and hope someone makes another recording?” She sounded confused.

    “No,” Alejandro said, catching on to the idea. “Kristoff has been recorded. He has served his purpose. It is interesting that whomever recorded him chose to give the DVD not to him, but to you .”
    “Exactly,” Del chimed in. “The blackmailer is trying to get to you. He or she wants you to suffer. Kristoff is just one avenue.”
    “So what are you suggesting I do?”
    One more time, Alejandro and Del exchanged a meaningful glance.
    “I think, querida , he’s suggesting that I arrange a scene for you here and see if we can track him through another disc and ‘watch me’ note. Or better yet, catch him red-handed in the act of filming you.”
    Shanna’s jaw dropped. “Are you insane! You think I should come here and get naked and…”
    “Spend a little time showing our members what you enjoy,” Alejandro supplied.
    “I can’t give this creep any more ammunition to ruin me.”
    “He already has everything he needs to discredit you with the judges. But I do not think he’s actually trying to prevent you from competing, as much as he’s attacking you. This feels personal, not professional. If you want to find out who is behind this, you must…expose yourself.”
    “I’m not into that!”
    After last night, Alejandro knew
