We are today's stop on the Fatal Heat Virtual Book Tour . Fatal Heat is a SEAL novella by Lisa Marie Rice and will be published on October 4th. With a title like that, you can guess this is an adult fiction work. Book blurb: Former Navy SEAL Max Wright is out of the SEAL Teams forever after being almost killed by an Afghani RPG. He retreats to his former XO’s beach house to lick his wounds. He wants to snarl at the world but finds it hard to snarl at his new neighbor, his XO’s beautiful goddaughter, Paige Waring, who also comes with a ridiculously likable, totally undisciplined dog.

To her mind, sexiness always comes with a white lab coat, not with acres of tanned muscle and a tough mind-set. When Paige’s work becomes the target of criminals and she’s abducted, Max springs into action. Though still terri...
