I’ve come to Hawaii to heal. After a horrific experience with her last boss, I need the serenity of tropical breezes and ocean views. All I care right now is to rebuilt my life and my career as a pastry chef. And I am definitely avoiding men.
That is, until I meet Kai Aiona.
The Hawaiian is sexy as the day is long and even though I try to resist him, I find myself drawn to him more and more. He knows just how to handle me in and out of bed. No matter how many times I tell myself to resist him, I can’t.
Still, I don’t trust any man these days, and when Kai finds out what I’ve been hiding, there is hell to pay. Now I just have to decide if I can truly trust my heart, or let the only man I’ve ever loved go.
Warning, this title contains the following: Scenes from Hawaii, nosey friends and family, two people who are right for each other but too stupid to realize it, a tattooed and pierced hero, a sassy Southern heroine, one drunken night, and love scenes that will curl your toes, warm your heart and leave you panting for more. Remember, Harmless stories are not for the weak.
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.
