Synopsis (Goodreads):

Jana wed an unmated Illibrium miner.

She was so entranced with him, she threw caution to the wind, testing mating compatibility with Ruxon of Twenty-Seven—unlocking a night of raw passion and words of commitment with a sweaty alien miner in the holodeck of the Hunter station.

But the very next morning her new husband was gone, never to be seen from again. His promises broken and his vows meaningless.

Two months later Jana discovered she was carrying his child.

Now she’s on a mission to find the recalcitrant miner who called her his “Bride”.

At her new job on the mining planet Timbur, Jana finds Ruxon and learns his crew calls him “Heavy”. Her long-lost husband glares at her, as if she were a complete stranger—because she is. He doesn’t remember her.

Ruxon’s amnesia isn’t accidental. Someone is trying to keep them apart. But there’s an old Earth saying: “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”

Jana will save her marriage, her baby, and her man, too!

Thoughts on Hot and Heavy: A slightly on edge Illibrium miner and the woman carrying his baby. Which is pretty much unheard of because Xylan bond for life and a mated Xylan will die without his special someone.

Which begs the question: How and why did this happen?

As it turns out, Ruxon's on edge precisely because he's bonded and now without his mate. With no memory of Jana or the night they spent together, he can't figure out why's he's turning into such a hot, growling mess. Meanwhile, Jana's hurt because Ruxon doesn't recognize her at all.

Yeah, these two are complicated. A bonding, a baby on the way, and a case of targeted amnesia. That said, the fever brothers are quick to band together once they realize the issue (Ruxon is a little slow to let them in on what's going on with him) and soon things are moving in the direction they need to be moving.
