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!!
