No one cares about the truth when the judge announces Nick Taggert's conviction of murdering his neighbor. The police had their conviction; the D.A. had his win. With an easily framed man in front of them, their convenient patsy receives a guilty verdict. In shock the justice system fails him, Nick throws caution to the wind -- ten months of good behavior had lowered his guard's defenses -- and he flees the courtroom. With no where to run and no help in sight, Nick grabs a nearby reporter to use a hostage and they leave the courthouse behind.

Reporter Shea Sinclair was sick of being the "weather girl" so she jumps at the opportunity to substitute for the station's lead reporter. When Nick kidnaps her, she feels terrified, and angry. Remarkably, she also believes in his innocence and that he won't hurt her. When Nick offers to release her, Shea refuses to leave. At first her motive to get the story and see her career skyrocket to the top lead to her decision. Soon her heart has its own motives. As tension of the chase builds, and as they partner to prove Nick's innocence, passion ignites. They find passion in the heat of the moment, for the moment may be all they ever share.

HOT ON HIS TRAIL by Linda Winstead Jones presents a double entendre -- not only are the police hot on their trail, but these fiery characters ignite as Shea throws her lot in with an alleged criminal. Desperation leads to an intense plot, and extraordinary motivation. Indeed, nail biting suspense and heated passion never overshadow this reevaluation of priorities, goals and dreams. Very highly recommended.

Newsreporter Shea Sinclair is tired of being known as the 'weathergirl' at the local TV station & longs to do serious news. When she is called in as a replacement to report coverage on a famous murder trial she is more than ready for the challenge.

Nick Taggert knows he is innocent & believes justice will be served. However when he is found guilty he becomes a desperate man. He takes Shea hostage & flees in her car, hoping to prove his innocence. Shea quickly sees the real

picture, that Nick has been framed. So she stubbornly refuses to give up until he is proven innocent.

I can hardly find adequate words to praise this book....certainly not for what it deserves. It is fantastic & entralling! A thrilling rush from beginning to end! If ever a hero can capture a woman's heart....it would be Nicholas Taggert! And Shea is very impressive as a heroine herself!

This book is excellent. You can't put it down, it has the perfect blend of romance and action, and it's one you'll re-read next year! Get it!

I have read all of Ms. Jones books--both as Winstead Jones and just Jones--and this is by far her best yet. Lots of action, suspense and romance. The perfect summer read!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book - the plot line, the romance, the characters were all very enjoyable. My only gripe with the book is that it seemed strangely similar to "Perfect" by Judith McNaught. This didn't ruin the book for me, but I don't think the book came across as "original."

This book is excellent. You can't put it down, it has the perfect blend of romance and action, and it's one you'll re-read next year! Get it!

This book is so good, I picked it up and I just couldn't put it down, I laughed, I cried, and I smiled though out the whole thing. I highly would recommend this book to anyone who loves romance novles, or some one who wants to get hooked on the words that Mrs. Jones writes down on paper.

Ms. Jones has taken a tried-and-true romance plot and given it her own special magic. HOT ON HIS TRAIL is a must read and I can promise you that once you start, you won't be able to put it down. Then when you finish the book, you'll be asking for--make that demanding--stories for Shea's three intriguing brothers, Boone, Dean and Clint.

This book is so well written, that I wished Ms. jones would write more. Thank you, and write faster.
