Peyton Lockhart and her sisters have just inherited Bishop’s Cove, a charming oceanfront resort. But it comes with a condition: They must run the resort for one year and show a profit—only then will they own it.
Peyton welcomes the challenge, yet has no idea how many people want to sabotage her success—including her vindictive cousins and the powerful land developers who have an eye on the coveted beachfront property. But when the threats against Peyton escalate into dangerous territory, she enlists the help of her childhood friend, FBI agent Finn MacBain.
Finn saved her life once before. Peyton has no choice but to trust him to do it again.

Summary
Hotshot is action-packed although not what I expected from the back cover. From the summary, I thought the main story line was going to be the sisters saving the hotel. However Peyton’s job disaster and the fallout was a surprising key element to the story. Peyton gets the job of a lifetime with no experience. When something sounds too good to be true it normally is. Peyton’s boss sexually harasses her the first week on the job. The main hero, Finn is definitely ‘hot’ (pun intended) and you can't help but love him from the prologue. He saves Peyton from drowning when she is a little girl, becomes a 3 times Gold Medal winner, and then an FBI agent. Finn’s ability to get suspects to confess was a fascinating addition to the story line. Peyton, the heroine grew on me the more I read through the book. My niece is a competitive swimmer so I really enjoyed that Finn was too. The secondary characters were a great supplement to the overall story and flow. Garwood’s traditional humor was also present throughout the book. I had several favorite lines in this book. A couple of them were: I’m thirteen dad, I’m supposed to be shallow. You saved a whole city? …. Of course you did I recommend the book if you enjoy romantic suspense sprinkled with witty dialogue.
Violence Some shooting, sexual harassment.
Language I don't recall any language. If there was any it was minimal.
Sexual Great chemistry between the characters and the physical relationship flowed well.
