After losing her job as a detective with the Atlanta Police department because she believed the wrong man's sweet words, Frankie Daniels hires on with the small town force in Purdyville. Her first day in town does not go well. Frankie finds her rental house totaled by fire, she smart-mouths the man who turns out to be her new boss, and she has to kick the butt of a redneck bully named Willy-Jack Pitts. Willy-Jack has the potential to be a very dangerous enemy, but Police Chief Matt Webber is danger, period.
From the outside, Matt Webber lives up to his reputation as a ladies' man. He flirts, and all the ladies in town love him, but these days he rarely takes advantage of his good looks and charm. From the moment he sees the hard-as-nails, street-wise Frankie, though, he's on full alert. Matt senses a soft core of vulnerability beneath her tough exterior, and begins a campaign to win her. But first, he must earn her trust.
Frankie learns many of life's lessons when she opens herself to others. The small town makes it impossible for her to depersonalize crime's victims as she did in the city. She discovers opportunities to help people cope, as Matt has always done, not just catch the bad guys. It's easy to take Frankie to heart and fall for Matt and to care for the inhabitants of Purdyville. (Well, most of them, anyway.) To feel their emotions and to laugh out loud with them, put HOT SHOT on your be-sure-to-get list.
Charlotte Hughes writes both comic romance and suspense. In HOT SHOT, she combines the two. She also delves into many kinds of human dynamics: relationships between men and women and parents and children; grief management, self-esteem, abuse, and the desperations of the elderly. If that sounds as though it's a morality tale, it's that, too. You'll find something of everything in HOT SHOT: romance, sensuality and mystery all stirred up with sugar and spice and rolled in humor.
If you like to feel the emotions of the people you read about and laugh out loud with them, treat yourself to HOT SHOT and enjoy.
