Sweet Heat - A Novel

When a major broadcast deal falls through and her latest relationship implodes, Kiki is left wondering if she ever had the answers. Then Kiki finds herself face-to-face with her biggest mistake: her ex-boyfriend, Malakai--the smooth-talking, absurdly handsome, annoyingly perceptive man who stole her heart and then shattered it. While Kiki''s approaching rock bottom, Malakai''s been on the rise as a filmmaker, and now she has no choice but to play nice if she wants to save her career. Forced to work together for the summer, both are hell-bent on ignoring the smoldering chemistry between them. But when their undeniable attraction sizzles back to life, Kiki and Malakai will have to face their fears and decide what they''re willing to risk for another chance. A glittering modern love story, Sweet Heat is about chasing dreams and being true to our hearts.
