Micah Jones job as a Bounty Hunter is temporary, the change of identity is a must if he wants to keep from being hunted due to his former career. At the scene of his latest assignment which is to bring in a suspected money launderer, his boss tells him there may be someone else involved and he wants Micah to find out who it is. Maggie O'Malley is stunned to find herself about to be arrested, her only crime was in helping her uncle get his night club out of the red and into the black. As an accountant who happens to be very organized, her books only reflect the money the club makes legally, there is no way she would have a second set of books. After her arrest Maggie wants her name cleared, why else would she turn to Micah, the man who turned her over to the police. First she has to convince him of her innocence and if he agrees to help her then she'll have to ignore the attraction blazing between them. Micah's past is not conducive to forming any type of relationships, as soon as the heat dies down, he'll be on the move and back to his old job as a hired assassin. That's what his mind says but his heart and the feelings below the belt are sending an entirely different message. They are not the only ones looking for the other book and those who are have no intention of leaving any witnesses behind. In between looking for answers to where the book could be, Micah is forced to evaluate his life and his ambitions. Being around the King family makes him wonder if he and Maggie could makes things work, but first he intends to find and destroy the person or persons who are trying to kill Maggie. Former assassins make for great hero material in the hands of a writer who knows her stuff, Ms. O'Clare is one of those authors. SLOW HEAT takes a set of differing personalities and comes up with a sensual tale of the power of love that heals and changes. The added benefit of characters from the other Bounty Hunter books is a definite plus. Fans of this series will be thrilled with the addition of SLOW HEAT.

SUMMARY

As a new trainee at the King family’s bounty-hunting agency, Micah Jones is trying to keep his cool. But his latest assignment—to bring in a night-club owner suspected of money-laundering—heats up fast when he meets the “brains” of the outfit: an irresistibly beautiful bookkeeper who’s resisting arrest. So Micah takes her into custody—by taking her into his powerful arms and not letting go… Held for questioning but released by police, Maggie O’Malley is still a person of interest—to Micah. And Maggie is interested, too—in his services. With his iron-hard muscles and tough-guy exterior, the Harley-riding bounty hunter is just the man Maggie needs to track down the real crook at the club. A slow-burning attraction ignites a firestorm of insatiable desire—until the secrets of Micah’s past are exposed. Explosive passion now must prove stronger than a history so terrifying it might haunt them forever…
