Micki Jordan and her two sisters work as publicists for The
Hot Zone sports agency, which is owned and operated by
their Uncle Yank, who raised them after their parents'
death. As the youngest sister, an excellent athlete and the
tomboy of the group, Micki was raised as "one of the guys."
Nothing fazes Micki -- nothing except Damian Fuller, the
crowd-pleasing New York Renegades centerfielder.
Damian Fuller is a terrific ball player, and his carefree
party lifestyle keeps the fans and his coaches from
noticing that he's getting older. When a wrist injury puts
him on the disabled list for a few weeks, a swaggering
young rookie starts angling for his position, and Damian is
forced to start thinking about his life after baseball.
Micki has been dreaming about Damian ever since a drunken
New Year's kiss, but she knows she can't compare with the
bevy of gorgeous glamorous women who hang on Damian
wherever he goes. With her sisters' encouragement, Micki
decides to pursue Damian, and she transforms herself with a
makeover just in time for a charity fundraiser in Tampa
with the baseball team. Although she's supposed to be the
capable and confident team publicist, Micki's plans are
sabotaged when an unwanted admirer spikes her drink. Before
the crazy night is over, she's been photographed by the
press in Damian's arms as he carries her out of a strip
club. Micki definitely got Damian to notice her, but now
that they're in the spotlight, will their true feelings be
illuminated?
Phillips has created a winning series with the Hot Zone and
the Jordan sisters. This perfect summer read has
everything: sexy baseball players, smart career women,
supportive sisters, a touch of humor, a private island, a
metro-sexual best friend, meddling families, a pregnancy
scare and plenty of sultry sex scenes. The parallel
storyline with Uncle Yank and his long-time love, Lola,
added an older generation's perspective and additional
depth to the concepts of admitting your true emotions,
facing commitment and settling down. This second book in
the Hot Zone trilogy is a keeper, and I will be going back
to read Annabelle's story in HOT STUFF (August 2004) and
watching for Sophie's story in the third installment, HOT
ITEM (summer 2006).
Micki Jordan, publicist to the brightest stars in the
sports world, is pleased to announce the end of her tomboy
ways, effective immediately. While she will still be able
to discuss the finer points of the two-man defense, Micki
has transformed herself into one hot number, and she will
no longer be known as "just one of the guys."
To that end, Micki is now holding tryouts for the position
of new man in her life. Current leading contender Damian
Fuller is a professional ballplayer and a major-league
playboy. Those who would like to go head-to-head with the
wildest player in the league for a chance at winning
Micki's heart should apply in person . . .
