One night of passion teaches Sully that some things are out of your control.
Being the oldest and most stable of the Sullivans hasn’t always been easy on me. I mean, who really wants to grow up to be the person who has to remind EVERYONE to turn in their expense reports? But I do what I have to to keep Sullivan Security running. Even ignoring my attraction to my executive assistant, Audra Baker.
The woman has smart mouth I want to kiss. But she’s in my employ and I knew when I hired her there would be no touching. Being a responsible adult doesn’t allow for things like that.
But when one of my brothers gets married, we both have a little too much wine at the reception, and end up in bed together. And in the shower. And the couch. Well, just all over that hotel room.
We both agree that we shouldn’t carry on the affair, only, I can’t stop thinking about it. And six weeks later, we find out that vivid memories are not the only thing we created that night.
There is no way I’ll be able to walk away from her, and I’ll do anything to prove it to her, even walk away from Sullivan Security.
From an early age, USA Today Bestselling author Melissa loved to read. First, it was the books her mother read to her including her two favorites, Winnie the Pooh and the Beatrix Potter books. She cut her preteen teeth on Trixie Belden and read and reviewed To Kill a Mockingbird in middle school. It wasn’t until she was in college that she tried to write her first stories, which were full of angst and pain, and really not that fun to read or write. After trying several different genres, she found romance in a Linda Howard book.
Since her first published book, Grace Under Pressure, Mel has had over 60 short stories, novellas, and novels published. She has written in genres ranging from historical to contemporary to futuristic and has worked with 8 publishers although she handles most of her publishing herself. She is best known for her Harmless and Santini series.
After years of following her military husband around the country and world, Mel happily lives with her family in horse and wine country in Northern Virginia.
