Publisher Description
A friends to lovers, forced proximity, military protector romance from New York Times Bestselling Author Lynn Raye Harris.
She changed her name. Her look. Her location. But what if running away isn’t enough to save her?
Physical therapist Scarlett Reed is looking for a fresh start when she takes a job in another state. Her rules are simple: don’t get close to anyone, and flee at the first sign of danger.
Wounded soldier Malcolm McCoy plans to work hard in rehab so he can get back to saving the world. He isn’t looking for a relationship because the woman he wants belongs to another, but something about prickly Scarlett intrigues him anyway.
When she needs a place to stay, Mal offers her the apartment over his garage - and finds it nearly impossible to keep his hands off his sassy, sexy neighbor. They’re just friends, but they’re both wounded, both harboring secrets. Turning to each other is as natural as breathing. Scarlett knows she shouldn’t get involved, but a little friends with benefits action can’t hurt. Because they’ve agreed that’s all it will ever be.
But someone in Scarlett’s past circles closer, waiting for their chance to strike. And when they do, Mal will realize what he should have known all along. Scarlett’s his, and he’ll brave any storm to bring her back and give her the happily ever after she deserves.

Customer Reviews
Hot Storm
Loved this book. Great characters and good storyline with plenty of twists and turns. Loved Scarlett and Mal and the joking around, and love that Mal went after her figuring in the whole mess of it exactly how he felt about her. Perfect HEA.
Emotional Ride
What an emotional ride. Abusive ex. Falling for a guy in love with someone else. Kidnapping. Emotional and physical torture. How much can a woman take?
Scarlett and Mal met in a hospital environment and they would end up visiting that place again for different reasons. They became friends and landlord/tenant during their time working together to rehab his injuries. Then they became friends with benefits. But he never hid from her the fact that he loved another woman. But does he really love her or was it the thought of her or someone like her?
When her past comes back to haunt her will Mal and his team be able to protect Scar? Will they be able to prevent the storm from coming?
I was a little surprised we didn't see more about Scar's recovery, but I understand that is not what this story was about. I just thought we would get a little insight. For what she went through it would have been both physical and mental therapy and it would have taken time.
I will admit I didn't have tears in this story, but I did have a lot of anger. I felt so angry that this was happening to her. Her ex was piece of work and did so much damage to Scarlett, both physically and mentally, but the mental is what irks me. I know it happens, but it shouldn't. I am so glad she found Mal and he did everything he could to make her feel at ease with him
Hot Storm ( Hostile Operations Team Strike Team 2 ) by Lynn Raye Harris
Another great book about HOT Strike Team 2 and their love of country and each other . This is Scarlett and Mal’s story and what a fantastic story. So much happens in this story the angst and fear of being found by her ex that Scarlett is always looking over her shoulder . Mal is there for her but he’s dealing with his own injuries and doubts. This is such a fantastic story I highly recommend it .
