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

Andreas glares and I glare back. "Someday you'll act like a boss, boss."


"And someday you'll stay out of things that don't concern you, fuck head."


"Why the hell do I make other men shake in their boots but you have no fear?" I ask.


Andreas looks down at his feet for a moment and then meets my gaze again. "You're loyal. You protected Victor with your life and earned my respect. You're straight up and I respect that too. Victor thought of you as a son. He knew what he was doing when he left you his territory. The other men feel the same. I'm ready to take over your old job and serve you or help the person you choose to do it. You just need to step in and fill the right shoes. They're not too big for you."


He's pegged the entire problem in a few short sentences. I don't feel I can fill Victor's shoes because no one can. "You know I'd kill you if I had to."
