About TOO HOT TO HANDLE
Single father Kevin O’Donnell would do anything to give his daughter Holly a stable life-including leave the Air Force and take a job working at Knight and Day Flight Tours in charming Jupiter Point, California. After his wild daredevil past, he’s sworn off relationships until Holly turns eighteen. Just three more years. No problem; he’s got this under control. Until a chance encounter with a smart, sassy bombshell-who just happens to be his new boss’s sister.
Since her father’s unsolved murder, Cassie Knight has spent over a decade on the road with her mother, memories chasing the fragile woman from town to townβ¦or so Cassie thought. Only after returning to Jupiter Point does she learn something-or someone-all too real triggered their life on the run. Now, with her brother closing in on their father’s killer, Cassie’s free to pursue her own happiness for the first time. Enter smart, sexy, funny Kevin O’Donnell.
Of course they’ll have to keep it light. There’s a big off-limits sign on Kevin’s heart, and Cassie’s ready to hit the road the minute her father’s killer is found. She can do light-no problem. But she didn’t count on their sizzling chemistryβ¦Holly’s suddenly odd behaviorβ¦and a killer who’s more cunning than the Knight family ever suspected. Too hot to handle? There’s only one way to find out.

Excerpt
When a woman talked βsex,β he listened. But this time, Kevin wasnβt really sure he liked what he was hearing. βSo youβre saying we take love off the table and focus entirely on sex, and that somehow that would keep my daughter out of it and avoid all potential complications at Knight and Day.β
βExactly.β Cassie beamed a pleased smile up at him. Then a frown drew her eyebrows together. βYou said βsomehowβ in a very skeptical tone.β
βSorry. I donβt mean to be skeptical. Butββ
She poked his chest. βThere you go again. That βbutβ was also very skeptical.β
God, she was adorable. And that, right there, was the problem. βIβve done the no-strings-sex thing. A lot. In fact, itβs all Iβve done since Sylvie and I split up. I know exactly how it works.β
Her eyelids flickered. βAnd so have I. In my case, itβs because Iβve moved around so much. There you go! We both already know the drill. Itβs perfect.β
βItβs not perfect.β
βOkay, of course itβs not perfect. But we could make it work.β
βWe couldnβt make it work,β he said firmly. Because as much as it pained him to do so, he had to nip this idea in the bud before she took it any further.
βWhy not?β She glared at him in a blaze of indignation. βYou think Iβm not sophisticated enough, that I canβt separate sex and love? Youβre totally wrong, I can do that, andββ
βThatβs not the problem.β He splayed his hands across her lower back, feeling the micro-adjustments of the muscles along her spine. The silky material of her dress was like magic, the way it allowed him to feel her body underneath.
βSo whatβs the problem?β Despite her frown, she was so appealing, so alive in the deepening starlight, as if she herself were a star who had landed in his life.
βThis.β
And finally, finally, he kissed her.
Not the almost-kiss of the first time theyβd met, or the close call from Knight and Day. This was the real thingβand it felt as if heβd been waiting for this moment for years. As if kissing Cassie was like throwing himself down a waterfall, his entire being tumbling end over end, completely immersed in the moment. The warm champagne sweetness of her taste was everything, the eager opening of her mouth, the slide of her tongue, the oops of their teeth clicking against each other before they figured out exactly how to fit together.
A tight quiver ran through her body, and for a moment he wondered if heβd gone too fast, kissing her like this.
In the next moment, she linked her hands around his neck and lifted herself on tiptoe, pressing her breasts against him. He felt the points of her nipples against his chest, and thanked God once again for that miraculous dress that hid nothing from him. Skimming his hands up her sides, he cupped the soft swells of her breasts. The perfect, delicate curves triggered a pulse of lust inside him, but even more than that, a fierce sense of rightness. As if her body and his were meant for this moment, and for so many moments to come.
And thatβ¦thatβ¦was why her plan wouldnβt work.
