Publisher's summary

The number one New York Times best selling author Nora Roberts weaves a spellbinding story of seduction and suspense, white-hot passion and cold-blooded murder in this first-ever hardcover edition of her classic novel...Hot Ice

Rich, gorgeous Whitney MacAllister likes fast cars, vintage movies, and dangerous men. But even this jaded, high-living Manhattan socialite is taken by surprise when a stranger in black leather hijacks her Mercedes - just before the bullets start flying. International jewel thief Douglas Lord is used to living life on the run - part of the lure of his chosen profession is the thrill of the chase. But he has one iron-clad rule: he always works alone. Until now.

Wounded and in desperate need of cash for what could be the glittering crown of his dazzling career, Doug reluctantly accepts the wealthy, well-connected Whitney as his new partner in crime. With the papers screaming headlines about the missing New York heiress, and a gang of cunning criminals in hot pursuit, Doug and Whitney take off for the sultry wilds of Madagascar in search of a fabulous treasure dating back to the French Revolution.

For Whitney, what began as a high-speed adventure becomes a race between life and death as she tries to outmaneuver a pack of merciless killers who coolly eliminate anyone in their way. For Doug, who has been betrayed one time too many, it’s a chance to capture the elusive pot of gold and perhaps one final shot at redemption. For both of them, it’s an exotic quest for meaning - and a surrender to an irresistible passion worth any risk - as a deadly high-stakes game is played out to its terrifying conclusion, one that may have no winners or losers. Or survivors. With Hot Ice Nora Roberts reveals once again why she is the reigning master of sensually charged intrigue and high-voltage suspense.

Critic reviews

"You can’t bottle wish fulfillment but Nora Roberts certainly knows how to put it on the page.” (New York Times)

“Roberts is indeed a word artist, painting her stories and her characters with vitality and verve.” (Los Angeles Daily News)

Entertaining to the max

I just finished this book and thought that it was wonderful. The interplay between the characters was unique and yet classic. The adventures that they got into was great and the tension between them lasted to the end.

Did not enjoy this one...

I have still not finished this book which is a first for a Nora Roberts book for me. I LOVE Nora's stories, so i'm not sure why its such a struggle for me to finish. I started the book, then stopped and listened to another one... then started again with this one.... stopped again and listened to another book! I've still not listened to the end and i'm not sure why. Perhaps its a bit unrealistic and ...boring?

Very good

Very well done. Keeps you on your toes. Good ending. This book kept me entertained and alert. It's in my top ten

Hot Ice, A Wild Romp of Intrigue and Aventure!

Although written quite some time ago, HOT ICE gave this reader a riveting, escapade of danger, sophistication, and two main characters with the witty savvy to entice a nonstop read. However, it needs to be savored because of the aplomb of its heroine, Whitney McAllister. She's a mighty cool customer besides being an ice cream heiress paired with a devilishly handsome jewel thief, Douglas Lord. From New York to Madagascar they become partners in a heist too magnificent to imagine. The unlikely duo is shadowed by an evil force that keeps them on their toes and in close quarters with each other building attraction and sweet sexual tension. Anna Fields (Kate Fleming) sets the stage and the cast of the characters perfectly. (You will never have to guess as to who is speaking, each has its own distinct voice.) I can't think of anyone else to do it better. May she rest in peace, she was my favorite narrator. Nora Roberts outdoes her self with this vintage novel that stands up well. I am so happy I found it and that I had the worthwhile credit to use! HOT ICE has become my new favorite of Roberts's vast achievements!
