Harmony Swift is tired of not being taken seriously as an FBI agent; she figures it's because of her California looks and sad background. Her anger only intensifies after the agency refuses to help when one of their own is kidnapped, someone who happens to be the only person Harmony cares about and considers her last remaining family member. So Harmony, using her knowledge of computer crimes, takes matters into her own hands. The first order of business is acquiring a computer genius to help her, but the man she wants is currently serving 25 years under the Patriot Act.

Cole Hackett has spent the last eight grueling years in prison for a crime he committed at the encouragement of the FBI. They set him up and stole his life right out from under him. And he's not the same pudgy computer geek who came through those prison doors all of those years ago; he has plenty of muscle to go with his brains, which keeps other prisoners at bay. Nothing can prepare him for the shock when the FBI sends "Barbie" with all the proper documents to gain his release from prison. He desires his freedom, but he wonders what it will cost him.

PACKING HEAT is packing more than just heat. This action- filled novel will knock your socks off with intense chemistry and intrigue that holds your attention from the first page. An awesome read!!

SUMMARY

When a cool computer whiz-turned-convict is paired with a sexy FBI agent, love on the run turns into something much more than just fun.

Cole Hackett's got a grudge. Eight years ago, he trusted the FBI and created a masterwork of computer security programming. In return, he was thrown in jail for espionage. He finally accepted his fate. But now fate's rewriting his program.

FBI Agent Harmony Swift is smart, blond, beautiful--and in over her head. When she illegally springs Cole out of jail for a top-secret, life-or-death assignment, she knows she's taking a risk. But this is Cole's chance to clear his name: she never expects him to harbor such a bad attitude--or be so darned attractive.

Now, with two relentless Russian mafia thugs pursuing them, Cole is out for payback, and Harmony is trying to save a life. They're either going down in flames or out in a blaze of glory; anything is possible when the heat is on!
