"An exciting Darks Ops romantic thriller"
After a rough childhood, Shay Bassett made it through hard
work. In Cleveland she has become a spokesperson for
troubled teens. The advocate is heading to DC to speak to
Congress about her city's increase in gang activity. However someone wants her silence before she can make her
testimony. Her teen past returns when Major Vince Deluca,
as a favor to his mentor, agrees to protect Shay. He
still wants her as he did as an out of control teen and
worries about her when they first meet; she is in the face
of a youngster who threatens to slice off her head with a
machete. However, first keep her safe; second find out
who the assassin is; and third control his libido, but he
forgot to factor in feisty Shay. Different from DEFENDER as this time the military converts
to the civilian world, HOTSHOT is an exciting Darks Ops
romantic thriller that hooks the audience from the opening
suspense scene and never loosens the tension until the
end. The story line is action-packed and stars two brave
powerful lead characters who refuse to allow gangs to
intimidate them though they recognize the danger. Fans
who relish an exciting military romantic thriller in a
civilian environment will want to read Catherine Mann's
powerful tale. Harriet Klausner
