White Hot

By Carla Neggers

Book Overview

Florida's lush Gold Coast lends an exotic backdrop to this dazzling tale of fiery sensuality and searing suspense from the New York Times bestselling author of Just Before Sunrise.

Mollie Lavender just moved to Palm Beach to start a public relations business and things are going swimmingly. So far, her clients include a dog, a ninety-year-old ventriloquist, and a grumpy astronaut. But when she runs into hard-hitting reporter Jeremiah Tabak, she learns that even a decade isn't enough time to heal a broken heart.

Society parties aren't Jeremiah's usual beat, but there's a cat burglar on the loose and a hot tip suggests his old flame is right in the thick of things. Seeing Mollie stirs up old desires...and new suspicions. Is it coincidence she attended every gala where the burglar struck? Jeremiah thinks not. The only way Mollie can prove her innocence is to help set a dangerous trap to catch the real thief. But Jeremiah's touch triggers powerful emotions...and the next thing stolen might be Mollie's heart.

Customer Reviews

CARLA NEGGERS' WHITE HOT IS TERIFFIC!

I've been a fan of Carla Neggers' books for years, and WHITE HOT was no exception. Not only did I find myself laughing out loud at some of the quirky characters, but the store was gripping with unexpected twists and turns. WHITE HOT is a great read from a great author!

Carla Neggers' White Hot is wonderful!

I found WHITE HOT rivetting! The characters came alive, the dialogue sparkled, and there were a couple unexpected twists. Helen, the society editor, was a hoot. As a fan of Carla's from way back, I think her strength is putting you right there--whether it's Cape Cod, Saratoga, or Palm Beach.

Another good read for romance lovers

On a beautiful summer beach ten years ago, jaded reporter Jeremiah Tobak met innocent college student Mollie Lavender and fell in love with her. However, he was wise enough to know that they had no future beyond the current spring break. He ended their relationship in such a way as to insure that Mollie will hate him rather than pine for him forever. A devastated Mollie returns home and earns a degree in public relations. A decade later, a successful Mollie opens up her own PR firm in Fort Lauderdale. Jeremiah is also based in the same area. However, neither are aware of that fact until an informant tells him that Mollie has attended every social event in which a cat burglar has struck. Jeremiah quickly gets involved with Mollie, who realizes that her love for him never ended. As the pair struggles with their feelings and fears, they must also deal with a cat burglar, who will go to any lengths to remain anonymous. Whether it be New England, California, or Florida, Carla Neggers brings with her her own brand of Yankee humor and warmth into the story line of every one of her novels. WHITE HOT is romantic suspense written the way the sub-genre was intended to be: readers anxiously awaiting what happens next. The audience will adore the vulnerable hero and the patient but strong heroine, and the story line will burn their fingers. Ms. Neggers turns up the audience's internal furnaces into the red zone with this torrid thriller.Harriet Klausner
