Only…they don’t really know me. Not like my friend Micky. She’s been my best friend since we met in high school.
I know how you’re looking at me right now. Like I was just trying to get in her pants. Believe me, I wasn’t. When we met, I was kind of skinny and gangly, and I was just happy to have another military BRAT to hang with. We liked a lot of the same things, and we had the same sense of humor. And she didn’t care who my brothers were.
Only, lately, I’ve been having these insane thoughts, like, how does she taste? Does she like dirty talking in bed? And does she see me as only her BFF?
When one of our clients shows interest in her, I decide it’s finally time to take a chance. One way or another, I have to make her see we will be perfect together.
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.
