Isabella Manchelli is extremely excited that she has found
this little slice of heaven of a town, Santa Rey. Isabella
never stays too long is one place, traveling all over the
world as a pastry chef, but never anyone's girlfriend.
Isabella's current boss and friend convinces her to
participate in "8 dates in 8 days" at the local singles
club so she can meet new people. Unfortunately, none of
Isabella's first seven dates set her blood on fire or rock
her with enough chemistry to light a fire -- until sexy date
number eight. One-night stands are really not Isabella's
thing but date eight, Jacob, has her humming, daydreaming
and wanting more regardless of the awkward morning after.
Isabella's world is tilting on it axis as she hangs out on
cloud nine, until she trips over a dead body outside her
place of business.
Detective Jacob Madden attempted to cancel the practical
joke his friends pulled, but he was unable to cancel one of
the eight dates, so he decides to make the best of it and
have a good time. Jacob's brain literally stops functioning
the moment Bella graces him with her smile, sense of
adventure and those sexy eyes. Jacob is unable to stop the
chemistry sparking between them leading to an unforgettable
night of steamy passion that comes to an end as Bella
sneaks out of his home in the early morning hours. Jacob
thinks he will never see her again, until he receives a
call sending him to a murder scene with Bella Manchelli as
the witness and prime suspect. This brings the delicious
memories of their fabulous night together to the front of
his mind and has him questioning if she is really capable
of murder.
Jill Shalvis creates a humorous, steamy and sexy as
hell story with THE HEAT IS ON. Absolutely yummy!
It wasn’t quite the “morning after” she was hoping
for…
Oh, dear. Bella Manchelli is so not having a
good day. First, she’s deliciously exhausted from last
night’s sizzling one-night stand. Second, there’s a (gulp)
dead body at her back door. Third…um, that scrumptious
one-nighter is at her front door…and he’s wearing a
badge.
Police Officer Jacob Madden is all about duty.
Until he shows up looking for a homicide…and runs right
into last night’s slice of sexy heaven! Damn, he just can’t
think straight when he’s around Bella. All he wants to do
is lick her up one side and down the other…
Can duty and smoking-hot sex blend for a while?
Definitely! Until Jacob discovers that several of the guys
Bella’s dated have turned up dead. Jacob loves being around
Bella. But is her ready to be used as target practice?
