Hot Stuff

Dear Reader,

If you like hot men, hot action and hot attraction you’re going to love this HOT new series! HOT STUFF introduces Cate Madigan, a Boston native from a large and crazy Irish family. Cate has far too much going on to get involved in extracurricular activities, like men and marriage. She spends all day in school, earning her teaching degree, and all night working as a bartender in Boston’s South End. Ex-cop Kellen McBride has decided to make Cate’s bar his nightly haunt. He likes Cate’s sassy Irish spirit and wild red hair. He also has an ulterior motive for getting close to her. Cate has sworn off all things romantic, but when she comes home to a ransacked apartment, a roommate who has flown the coop, and a sleeping bullmastiff named Beast, Cate has no choice but to ask Kellen for help. Can Kate resist the charming Kellen McBride while keeping herself out of danger? Or will Kellen turn up the heat on Cate and everything in her life?

We know you’ll have a blast with HOT STUFF!

Janet Evanovich & Leanne Banks

Janet Evanovich is the author of the Stephanie Plum books, including ＂One for the Money＂ and ＂Sizzling Sixteen,＂ and the Diesel & Tucker series, including ＂Wicked Appetite.＂ Janet studied painting at Douglass College, but that art form never quite fit, and she soon moved on to writing stories. She didn’t have instant success: she collected a big box of rejection letters. As she puts it, ＂When the box was full I burned the whole damn thing, crammed myself into pantyhose and went to work for a temp agency.＂ But after a few months of secretarial work, she managed to sell her first novel for ＄2,000. She immediately quit her job and started working full-time as a writer. After 12 romance novels, she switched to mystery, and created Stephanie Plum. The rest is history. Janet’s favorite exercise is shopping, and her drug of choice is Cheeze Doodles. She and her husband live in New Hampshire, in house with a view of the Connecticut River Valley. Leanne Banks is a bestselling author of fun, steamy romances. She was the winner of the ＂Romantic Times＂ Career Achievement Awards in Series Sensuality and Love and Laughter, among many other honors. She lived in Virginia with her family.
