It's late night in Vegas, and I swiped right on the wrong guy. My once-promising espionage career's in a ditch, my love life's on life support, and I've just been stood up by bleached blond Johnny "the lounge lizard" Cisnero. I'm getting over it, though, because Mr. Tall, Dark and Delicious has sauntered up to me at the bar and is plying me with stupid-expensive drinks. Either my luck is looking up or something shady is about to go down. Is the hottest first date of my life a desert miracle or one more bad choice? Baby It's Hot Outside is the prequel short story for the Agents of HEAT series, lighthearted romantic suspense with a shot of action & adventure, a dash of snark, and a twist of fun. You won't want to miss a minute of these exciting new romances about smokin' hot, off-the-books secret agents who work hard and play harder. Previously published as Baby It's Hot Outside by Nancy Yeager.

He’s my one weakness, and my last hope. Now my ex-partner from HEAT wants to bring me in from the cold. Three months ago, I was expelled from the off-the-books spy agency HEAT for insubordination. Among other things. Now I’d do anything to get back in the game. Anything except work with Derek Wilder again. But when my tall, dark, and diabolical ex-partner offers me a chance to rejoin the agency, turns out I’ll even do that. We’re no longer partners, but at least we’re on the same team, taking down the major players in a weapons smuggling cartel. Dealing with international thugs might be the easy part of my job, though, because my ex is hiding something from me. Something big. In my business, we’re good at keeping secrets, but I’m going to uncover all of his. Because one thing Derek can’t hide is that he wants me as much as I want him. And two can play this smokin' hot spy game.

He’s the one man I cannot fall for, and the only man I want. Now my kryptonite is in the inner sanctum of HEAT. As an elite sharpshooter, I was one of the Army’s most valuable weapons. But as a civilian and a new recruit in the off-the-books spy agency HEAT, I have a lot to prove. Which is why when sexy playboy Chase Wilder bungles my first solo mission, he moves into the top five on my personal enemies list. But when his new business associate turns out to be my number one enemy and HEAT’s most wanted, I’m stuck with Chase as my temporary partner. We’re undercover in an organization of mercenary spies who will do anything for the highest bidder. Taking down the bad guys is only one of my problems, though, because I’m being pulled into Chase’s orbit and some days I don’t even know if I want to break free. In the world of espionage, we keep our enemies close, but I need to keep Chase as far away as possible. Because every time we’re alone together, my heart overrules my head, which is one risk I can’t take. And if our jacked-up hearts start calling the shots, someone will get killed. The Agents of HEAT series is perfect for readers who like Killing Eve, Alias, and Nikita.

When a beautiful woman literally falls into security specialist Evan Prescott’s arms, he vows to protect her. But when Dr. Samantha Bond claims to be a spy on the run from dangerous enemies, he realizes he might live to regret his decision...that is, if he lives through the week. This insta-love, action/adventure romance is an alternate point-of-view take on the early events in the Agents of HEAT romantic suspense novel Baby Heal the Pain .
