USA TODAY Bestselling Author Holly S Roberts likes to gloss over her exciting past as a homicide detective and make you think she sits at a computer all day writing. Nothing could be farther from the truth. You’ll find Holly in the mountains on a long hike or at the gym pounding barbells with the boys. She’s a health coach and nutritionist as well as being vegan and proving muscles come from hard work and plant-based foods. When the weather’s too cold for outdoor play, she sneaks into her dark cave and writes until her fingers ache. She’s also followed around by a hundred-pound Rottweiler with anxiety issues and constant need for affection. Each finished chapter gets a dog lick when Holly stays on course.   

Enter the hotter than hell world of sex, drugs, and danger. Notorious crime boss Chase Xavier Moon takes few prisoners and lives a lavish life of sin limited only by his imagination. When ex-cop Madison Kinlock enters Moon’s world, nothing will ever be the same. They knock heads constantly but everyone knows the heat is turned on high and a meltdown to end all meltdowns is coming.  


Hotter Than Hell

You're not listening. This guy is bad for you. You'll be bored within a year if you marry him. I know he hasn't asked yet but I can read between the lines. You can't marry him without me there, so I may never come home. I know in your stubbornness you will react irrationally if I try to tell you what to do. You have always been the most obstinate baby/girl/woman I know. I'm asking you to take things slow and wait.


I wake up cramped and needing to pee again. The Jeep stops moving and I peer out the window. We're at a rest stop. Rack reaches into the back seat and hands me a small travel pouch.


"Make it quick. The toothbrush is mine, use it. I'll give you five minutes. Leave everything behind if I tell you to move. I don't expect trouble but we need to be prepared."


I cover my mouth. "My breath is that bad?"
