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

"These are baggy but they'll stay up." She pulls one of the shirts out of a bag and heads back into the bathroom. She comes out wearing a pink stretch top that shows off her round belly. My eyes travel down to her bare toes. She wiggles them. "My feet are swollen and I don't think I can get back into my shoes right now."


I also didn't think to buy shoes. "We aren't going anywhere until morning. Do you have a problem with more pizza for dinner?"


She looks at the box and I would swear she turns a little green.


"I can go out and get us something. You name it and it's yours."


She shakes her head. "No, it's all good. I'm not actually hungry. I haven't eaten so much since before I met Angelo."


She's giving me the perfect lead-in. "Why don't you sit down and tell me how you got involved with Angelo Gimonde."


She gives me sad puppy dog eyes but it won't work. "Just saying I was stupid won't cut it?"
