***NEW YORK TIMES* BESTSELLER • For fans of *Release Me* comes a series of three enigmatic and powerful men, and the striking women who can bring them to their knees.** **** ***I knew better than to risk my heart. ** But fierce passion comes at a high price.*** I grew up believing in right and wrong, good and evil, black and white. I knew better than to trust. And then I met Tyler Sharp. Bold, charming, and dangerously sexy, Tyler always gets what he wants. But his smile can be deceiving, his dealings sordid, his ambitions ruthless. I thought I was the one woman strong enough to resist him, but our need for each other was too urgent to deny. One look and I was in trouble. One touch and I was hooked. One night and I became his. And now that I’ve fallen, there’s no going back. ***Heated* is intended for mature audiences. ** *FIRST TIME IN PRINT: THE BONUS STORY “TAKE ME” * **Praise for *Heated*** ***** * “A steamy story with a dark edge. Recommended for those seeking crime drama with spice.” **— *Library Journal* ** * * “Kenner may very well have cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swoon for them, and this second installment of her Most Wanted series goes a long way toward solidifying that claim. Her characters’ scorching, scandalous affair explores the very nature of attraction and desire, redeeming and changing them beyond measure. . . . Fans will no doubt love the games of power, overwhelming passion and self-defining relationship that Kenner has crafted, and come away eager for more.” * *—* RT Book Reviews*** ***** * “The plot is complex, the characters engaging, and J. Kenner’s passionate writing brings it all perfectly together.” **—Harlequin Junkie ** **** “In Julie Kenner’s typical masterful storytelling, nothing is as it seems. We are taken deeply into the plot twists and the danger of this . . . journey. The chemistry first felt by both Tyler and Sloanne during their first encounter roars into an all-consuming fire neither one can put out. . . . Take the same journey I did and you will not be disappointed!”** —As You Wish Reviews**
