Hot as Hell

Angela Anderson has spent years becoming respectable.

The career is going well. The apartment is good. The men are sensible.

Angela has never been more bored.

Then, on a night out she nearly cancelled, a stranger in an immaculate white suit sits beside her.

He knows her name.

He knows about the man she cannot have.

Worse, he seems to know exactly how much Angela misses the woman she used to be before good decisions took over her life.

Then he offers her something she should know better than to accept.

Anyone she truly desires can desire her back.

Angela laughs.

Then she says yes.

By morning, she is determined to dismiss the whole thing as alcohol, bad judgment and an unusually filthy imagination.

Monday makes that difficult.

And once Angela begins to suspect the stranger really did give her what she asked for, behaving herself becomes considerably less appealing.

From the Author

Hot as Hell started with a woman who had done everything she was supposed to do and was quietly furious about how boring it had become. Angela misses the reckless version of herself, even if she would never admit it over lunch with her coworkers. Then somebody offers her a shortcut back to appetite. I wanted the bargain to feel irresistible for one very simple reason: Angela genuinely enjoys what happens when it starts working.
