Hot

by Elizabeth Hoyt

Overview

A Wisconsin bank teller's plan for revenge sets a sexy lawman on her tail in this hilarious and suspenseful contemporary romance.  

"Lively humor, an enterprising heroine, creative plot twists and a nail-biting finale . . . a worthwhile romp." —Publishers Weekly

For four years, play-by-the-rules bank teller Turner Hastings has brooded over her uncle's wrongful imprisonment. But when two bumbling crooks stumble into her branch (barely disguised in Yoda and Sponge Bob masks) and hold up the place, she sees a chance to do something she's never thought possible: get revenge. She takes advantage of the melee to pull a heist of her own, seizing info from a security box that will exonerate her uncle.

Sent to investigate a bank robbery in small town Wisconsin, Special Agent John MacKinnon discovers the robbers were two not-quite-so-bright thugs and one woman. Now, Turner is on the run. With SA MacKinnon on her trail, she's breaking into the bank president Calvin's house, kidnapping his Great Dane, and for the first time in her life, setting out to break a few rules. But when Calvin hires a hitman, MacKinnon will have to decide between his career—and saving Turner.

"Yes, Hot is certainly the right word to describe this sizzling contemporary romance." —Fresh Fiction
"Hot covers all the must-have ingredients for an unforgettable story: great characters you enjoy, a story that grabs your interest, and the much needed chemistry between the couple that keeps us frantically turning the pages. Hot is a refreshing, funny, tug-your-heartstrings read that deserves a Perfect 10 from me!" —Romance Reviews Today

Editorial Reviews

"Fast paced and funny, this novel reads like Janet Evanovich crossed with The Sopranos. It's full of zany characters in a book-long car chase.
