Hot Shot * Fern Michaels * Men of the Sisterhood #6

When a prominent gaming commissioner is shot and left fighting for his life in Las Vegas, an elite underground network of male vigilantes arrives in the City of Sin to protect his family and hunt down a ruthless gang leader.

The Story: Written by New York Times bestselling romantic suspense legend Fern Michaels, this high-octane installment in the Men of the Sisterhood universe transforms the glittering, dangerous neon corridors of Las Vegas into an intense tactical workspace. Cosmo Cricket, the respected head of Nevada's Gaming Commission and husband to the formidable Sisterhood lawyer Lizzie Fox, is brutally ambushed and left critically injured by an unknown assailant. As Cosmo fights for survival under strict medical parameters, the specialized operatives of BOLO Consultants drop their quiet domestic routines to execute a synchronized counter-campaign. Arriving in Vegas to provide a defensive protective shield for Lizzie, the men unholster an advanced analytical diagnostic toolkit to map out Cosmo’s enemies. Their tracking lines focus on Cosmo's private passion project: Happy Village, a peaceful desert sanctuary designed for widowed seniors to find a fresh timeline. The situation hits a volatile boundary when the crew discovers the retirement community was built over territory once run by rival street syndicates.

To remove the threat permanently, Jack, Harry, and the team must drop all standard law enforcement filters, stepping directly into a high-stakes underworld sandbox. Moving step-by-step through a dark ledger of casinos, gambling debts, and local turf wars, they realize they are racing against a ticking-clock deadline to draw out a vicious, secretive gang lord known only as "Hot Shot". Michaels guides readers through a fast-paced chess match where institutional security fails, instructing the mind on how absolute loyalty can smash a criminal network before a family's sanctuary is breached forever.
