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

I'm not afraid of him. Not when he's hurt and worse off because of me. "That's crap. This is not nothing. Did you leave the hospital to come rescue me?" I can't hide my exasperation.


He takes hold of my hands and moves them away from his chest. "No, I wasn't in the hospital. It happened in Mexico and a friend sewed me up." He releases me and steps back. "Eat. I'll take a shower and be as good as new."


I actually stomp my foot in frustration. "You won't. You can't shower with those stitches." I really want to bust him upside the head. "Take off your shirt and let me wash your side. I won't eat the pizza or have dessert unless you cooperate. Did my brother mention how stubborn I am?" My hands go to my non-existent waist.


A low rumble of laughter escapes him. "Nick did mention that once or twice. I'll sit in the chair while you eat. Then you can play doctor."
