He's always been her knight in armor.
Anna DeWinter hasn't always had the best of luck with men. From early on, she learned hard lessons to never trust them, and it's why she keeps her relationships purely superficial. The only man she trusts--other than her father--is Max. He's always been the guy she could count on to support her dreams, even if she knows she isn't the woman for him.
She's always been his complete opposite.
Max Chandler has always admired Anna's free spirit. Whenever he gets too stuck in his own thoughts, he knows he can count on her to loosen him up. He's always kept her at arm's length because he knows he needs a certain amount of control and Anna isn't the type of woman to give him that. But all that changes after his broken engagement and too much tequila.
There's no going back to being just friends.
One night will never be enough for either of them, but that doesn't mean it will be easy. Anna doesn't believe in happily ever after, but there is one thing she's about to learn about Max:
When it comes to love, Max always plays to win.

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.
