Hot Mess — Lynn Raye Harris

English professor Dr. Georgeanne Hayes has a problem. Her star pupil, an Army sergeant who works in a Top Secret government program, is missing -- and someone tried to push her in front of a train last night. Sam “Knight Rider” McKnight is used to looking out for Georgie. When they were kids, she was just his best friend's baby sister. But Georgie's not a baby anymore and Sam is getting some very male -- and very dirty -- thoughts about the girl he knows he can never have. When someone threatens Georgie's life again, Sam will do anything necessary to keep her safe. Even if it means spending the next few days locked up in a remote house on Maryland's Eastern Shore with her. Sam might be used to denying himself what he wants, but he's about to find out that being cooped up with Georgie will push him to the limit. And maybe beyond. A Hostile Operations Team novella, complete at 33,000 words. Spicy!
