by Erika Wilde

Hot and Bothered
by Erika Wilde
2020
PI Noah Sommers takes in Natalie Hastings after a car accident leaves her with gaps in her memory and a stalker on her trail. Protecting her under his own roof means constant temptation, and as fragments of her past surface, so does the possibility of a future neither of them expected.
Hot and Sexy
by Erika Wilde
2020
Bail recovery agent Joelle Sommers is used to chasing fugitives, not arresting innocent, dangerously charming businessmen. Mistakenly hauling in Dean Colter forces them to work together to clear his name, and the more they dig into the case, the harder it is to deny the attraction simmering between them.
Series background & context
The Some Like It Hot series mixes private investigation, sibling dynamics, and plenty of heat, following the Sommers family as they juggle fugitive tracking, personal security, and complicated love lives. Each book focuses on a different Sommers sibling or close colleague, delivering a complete romance wrapped around a light suspense or protection plot.
Hot and Sexy centers on Joelle Sommers, a skilled PI and bail recovery agent who is very comfortable chasing down skips but less prepared for the effect one particular arrest has on her. When she hauls in Dean Colter on a case of mistaken identity, he proves cooperative, amused, and dangerously attractive. Clearing his name means they have to work together, and the more time they spend side by side, the more the line between professional obligation and personal desire blurs.
In Hot and Heavy, buttoned-up secretary Melodie Turner has been quietly lusting after her boss, PI Cole Sommers, for years. Tired of playing it safe, she decides to seduce him the way he seduces suspects in their cases: with carefully crafted, provocative letters that get into his head long before they touch his body. Cole tries to keep things platonic, but Melodie’s new, bold persona and their undeniable chemistry make resistance hard to maintain.
Hot and Bothered gives Noah Sommers his own story. A routine case puts Natalie Hastings, a woman with short-term memory loss and a stalker problem, directly in his path. Noah ends up taking her into his home for safety, intending to keep things strictly protective. Close quarters, late-night conversations, and the slow return of her memories force them both to confront trauma, attraction, and whether Noah can be more than just the man who keeps her safe.
Overall, the Some Like It Hot books are perfect if you like a dash of mystery with your romance, families who meddle as much as they help, and heroes who are as good with a stakeout as they are at turning up the sexual tension.
