Hot for Hostage

A hilarious, sexy, and action-packed rom-com about a sunshine heroine who kidnaps the son of the local mafia don to help get back a dog stolen from the shelter where she volunteers, perfect for fans of Meghan Quinn and Vanessa Vale.

Sadie Morris is a force of nature, a ray of sunshine wrapped in short pink overalls, with pockets full of homemade dog treats and a fierce determination for justice. Her idea of fun includes volunteering at a dilapidated dog shelter, a place she cherishes despite its challenges. When a gang of vandals targets the shelter and steals one of its beloved dogs, Sadie refuses to stand by. Desperate to recover the furry friend, she turns to the last person she should ask for help: Davian Reed.

Born into the ruthless world of organized crime, Davian is cold, calculating, and destined to inherit the criminal empire that controls their city. Known for his brutal efficiency, he’s the one good girls instinctively avoid. But Sadie doesn’t follow those rules. When her plea for help is met with indifference, she shocks everyone—including Davian himself—by grabbing a gun and declaring him her hostage until he helps her track down the lost dog.

What begins as an outrageous demand quickly escalates into a partnership neither expected. While Davian is drawn to Sadie’s fiery resilience and her unwavering sense of justice, she begins to see past his icy exterior to the man beneath. Together, they must navigate their clash of worlds, confronting danger, unlikely alliances, and a spark of connection neither one saw coming.
