Dr. Micah Westmoreland and Dr. Kalina Daniels spent every moment together, in and out of bed, in Australia 2 years previous. Both are epidemiologists for the Center for Disease Control. Reaching a pact of becoming involved only for the sex and good times, neither desired commitment. Their liaison ended when Kalina's father, General Daniels, lied to her and lead her to believe that Micah was a co- conspirator in keeping her from going to China where she would be exposed to danger. Being an only child and motherless since an early age, her father is possessive and over protective.

Dr. Micah Westmoreland attends a ball where he again seeks out Dr. Kalina Daniels. Sometime during their affair, Micah had began to fall in love with Kalina. His goal now is to win her trust and love to make her permanently his. Both are ordered to Bajabad, India where a deadly virus is spreading. Putting their differences aside they work side by side to target the origination of the virus and produce an anti- virus . Even though Kalina professed hatred for Micah, it doesn't keep her blood from boiling with each sight of his hot, gorgeous body.

Consumed with passion, fires are ignited and hot sex becomes unavoidable. Micah convinces Kalina to spend a month in Denver with him at his ranch in an effort to reveal his true self so that she can really know the man he is. Heartache over losing his parents and aunt and uncle as a teen, family is everything to Micah. Desiring to have his own family and settle on his ranch, he wants only Kalina by his side. Convincing her he had no part of her father's plan and he truly does love her is harder to accomplish than he could imagine.

Brenda Jackson has created strong and equally stubborn characters. Kalina's father has developed misunderstanding and complete lack of trust in his daughter. Hating Micah and loving him at the same time has her guessing her every move since she so totally desires his body. The story is fast moving and keeps the interest with every turn of the page. Enjoy the sizzling hot sex between the couple. FEELING THE HEAT is emotional and extremely clever as Micah sets the web for the love of his life.
