Roberto M. Morales
Roberto M. Morales is a Miami contractor turned author. The Hot Work series comes straight out of the world he works in every day — bids, permits, inspections and job sites — which is why the pressure on the page feels real and the people in it sound like people you have actually met.
The Hot Work series follows Elena Torres and Rafael Cruz across eight volumes, from a slow-burn workplace romance into full romantic suspense. Read them in order for the complete story.
