Too Hot in

MIAMI

By ELLE RILEY

About Me

Who is this chick?

l'm Elle, and I've lived all over the great state of Illinois but love to travel far and wide.

 

I write funny romcom adventures with gutsy women who get themselves into unimaginable situations. A little bit of heat, a lotta bit imagination, and a whole lot of fun.

 

I'd love to take you along for the ride.

Life's a Trip

Too Hot in Miami - ebook.jpg

Stuck in a dead-end job, with an ex that likes his women how he likes his pizza — cheap and available — Josephine “Jo” Murphy needs a break from her life in the Chicago suburbs. 

Enter her ever-faithful girl posse. 

With the overbearing love of her friends, Jo is dragged on a road trip to Miami. The plan is abundant sun, mojitos and eclectic vibes.

 

Except road trips never go as planned.

One cracked windshield, an accidental “hitchhiker”, and an unplanned stop – driving from Illinois to Florida was supposed to be an escape, not a 1,200-mile disaster. But by the time they hit the neon lights of South Beach, they’re ready for a stiff drink.

 

Things definitely start looking up as Jo finds herself with hearts in her eyes when she meets Eddie, the charming and panty melting insurance adjuster. Drinks? Dinner? Adventure in the Florida Keys? Yes, please!

 

… until it becomes a dumpster fire.

Paradise quickly turns dark as Jo discovers nothing is as it seems.  Enter a villain of international proportions and a deep dive into the Everglades. Will she survive this vacation with her heart intact — or her head?  Snakes, gators and crime lords… Oh my!
