Coming in Hot: A Piper Harris Mystery, Volume 1

by Deany Ray, Jen Lee (Narrator)

Starting a new life in Florida means year-round sunshine, beautiful beaches, and balmy breezes. For most people, anyway.

But not for thirtysomething Piper and her grandmother, former members of a motorcycle gang in Oregon.

For them, it means entering the witness protection program and moving to Bitter End in the Sunshine State. Yes, to Bitter End. It doesn’t get much more ironic than this.

But hey, it’s better than rotting in jail for getting busted with tax evasion and money laundering, and infinitely better than getting killed by said gang for testifying against them.

Needless to say, they both have difficulties adjusting to life in Florida. Moving into a retirement community and dealing with all those quirky characters? Wearing flip-flops instead of biker boots? Where do you even hide your gun if you’re wearing those godawful muumuu dresses? Not to mention, they’re supposed to keep everything on the right side of the law now? Ugh!

Oh, and there’s that dead body in their neighbor’s front yard. Instead of laying low, Piper and her Gran can't help but get sucked into the murder mystery. After all, seeking out excitement and adrenaline is in their DNA.

When they realize they’re in too deep and their cover is almost blown, they have no other choice but to find the killer before it’s too late.

Unique characters, laugh-out-loud moments, and of course, a hot PI guy await for you in this fast and funny romp!

Coming in Hot is perfect for fans of Janet Evanovich, Jana DeLeon, Gemma Halliday, Liliana Hart, and JB Lynn.

[Elaine · Rating 5 out of 5]

So… if you are a Stephanie Plum Fan… like me…
And, you are sad because Stephanie and Ranger and Morelli are now done… (I mean I cried….)
Well, I HAVE SOME GOOD NEW FOR YOU! 😊😊

Look into another author who has a similar storyline… kind of, anyway…
Piper and her Grandma Dorothy need an escape plan… one that comes in the form of WITNESS PROTECTION and relocating across the country… with all new names and identities!

They are moved from a biker 🏍️ town in Oregon to a retirement town in Florida!
Neither of them want to be there. No one is happy. But… they ARE safe. At least, for now!

They are told to stay UNDER THE RADAR. Do NOT bring any attention to yourselves!

So, on day one…what happens??
A dead man in the adjoining property! 😳
A man who, until recently, lived in Grandma’s new house!!!

AND, WE’RE OFF!

I mean, they can’t just sit around and do nothing…can they??

This was delightful, and made me think of Stephanie so many times!! 🤣😂🤣

So, if you’re up for a new author…series… please check this one out!
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!!

#ComingInHot by @DeanyRay and narrated beautifully by @JennLee.
(This is book #1 in the series!)

5 bright, hysterical, gun-slinging, boot-wearing, funny stars for me!!! ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️

Thanks to my local library for the lend! This was released in 2025, and I believe there are two or three more books in the series so far, although I’m not sure if they’ve been released yet…
