Suspense. Thriller. HTML:<p>December 9, 2013<br /> Craig throws two love stories, crime, investigation, and the kitchen sink into the third Hotter in Texas contemporary (after Blame It on Texas). Rafael DeLuna framed PI Austin Brook for murder, and now Austin is on his tail. His informant, Roberto, has become unreliable, so Austin targets Rafael’s half-sister, veterinarian Leah Reece. When he goes undercover as a day trader, bugging her apartment and listening to her phone conversations, he is surprised by their attraction. Though the creepy duplicity of Austin’s spying on Leah is jarring, their connection is sweet and genuine, their childhood scars and adult histories making them slow to open up, despite their mutual interest. Two prominent subplots both involve Roberto: a crime story about him infiltrating Rafael’s group, and a gentle romance involving him and Leah’s assistant. Austin and Leah’s story is often dark, and the mysteries, histories, and subplots make the romance feel like an afterthought, but fans of fast-paced thrillers and Craig’s other books will feel at home.

They're nothing but trouble-and not even the fun kind. But when her apartment is broken into and Leah suspects Rafael, her dangerous half-brother, of foul play, she can't deny she could use a little help. She just never expected that help would come with twinkling blue eyes and a sexy smile...<br /> <br /> All PI Austin Brook wants is to nail Rafael DeLuna, the man who framed him for murder. He'll do anything for information-even lie about his identity to charm Leah, DeLuna's half-sister. But her sweet dimples and fiery spirit soon make her more than just his only lead. Leah becomes his every desire. As Austin closes in on DeLuna, it's clear he won't go down without a fight. Now the only way Austin can protect Leah is to reveal all of his secrets and risk losing her for good.</p>. Media Type: eBook.
