Publisher Description
From the best-selling author of Pretty Killer, No Justice, and 12 comes Heat To Obsession, a delectable new stand-alone thriller by Nolon King.
Superstar chef Amanda Byrd had it all -- a loving husband, two beautiful kids, and a critically-acclaimed restaurant -- until her epic meltdowns caused her marriage to implode. After a humiliating year of therapy and eating crow, her husband Mike has agreed to take her back, as long as she continues to keep her inner diva in check.
Amanda's guilty secret: during that year of separation, she had an affair with the talented young chef, Noah, who worked in the hotel where she stayed after Mike kicked her out. Nothing serious, just a fling that she broke off as soon as Mike let her come home.
But her indiscretion comes back to haunt her when a Hollywood power couple offers Amanda her own cooking show -- with Noah as one of the cohosts. Her unsuspecting husband demands she say yes: Mike resents that Amanda's restaurant doesn't bring in what it used to, and private school for two kids isn't cheap.
It's soon clear that Noah hasn't given up on luring Amanda back into his bed. He's willing to destroy anything that stands between them: her family, her reputation, her career … and maybe her sanity.
A gut-wrenching, suspenseful thriller, Heat To Obsession is perfect for fans of Darcey Bell and Harlan Coban.
Warning: Heat To Obsession is a tense psychological thriller that includes adult language and situations. While it is all within the context of the story, some readers may find this content offensive. Intended for mature audiences.

Beautiful Story
There were lots of things I liked about this story. It felt tense, breathtaking. I wished Noah was actually more evil than he intended to be. I thought he was going to murder Amanda or Mike, he felt like a silly villain with a great backstory.
I also enjoyed a lot the hypocrisy of the Shellys. They portray a lot their real life counterparts. My favorite character has to be Amanda. In the beginning I hated her, but her growth made want to start rooting for her. I really thought she’d straight up maintain her ego and not save her family but she proved me wrong.
Overall, I didn’t feel like it was a psychological thriller, but it definitely was an amazing story I’d recommend to read.
Heat to Obsession
Good story line for romantic novels. Just wasn’t my cup of tea! I was looking for more thrill and suspense! Both main characters seemed to have too much to learn! Not my best read by far.
Nolan King kept me Hungry for more
This book kept me reeling for more as each chapter kept me wondering what was next between Amanda and Mike and Amanda and Noah, I have a feeling of more to be desired as a vengeful sequel where Noah Rears his ugly head in a plot that comes to his demise. I am looking forward to more books by King.
