After leaving the Marines, he decided to open a therapy ranch. If he can’t fight anymore, he wants to help those who have served and who are still serving. Everything is fantastic, but for one little issue, his partner, Tia Mendoza. The woman is bossy, sarcastic, and so hot he can barely keep his thoughts straight around her. Tia loves the work she does with Carlos. She thrives helping other veterans like her brother. Of course, working for a man like Carlos isn’t easy. He has a hot temper and he is so sexy when he loses it. She can’t help but test him, until the day she pushes him too far. Carlos knows from that first kiss that Tia is the woman for him. But, before they can have that Santini HEA, they find the ranch they both love in danger from some very bad men. As the threats grow deadly, Carlos realizes that before he can claim his woman, he will have to do everything in his power to save not only the ranch they both love, but also Tia’s life.  EXCERPT “Santini?” “Out here,” he said, just loud enough for her to hear. She followed the sound of his voice to the back porch. When she caught sight of him, she stopped and stared. The heat of the day had apparently gotten to him also. He stood on the porch, holding a bucket of water, but that was not the part that had captured her attention. He had no shirt on. The man was trying to kill her. She had seen him without his shirt before, but this was different. Sweat glistened on his back as he lifted the bucket high above his head and tipped it over. Water sluiced over his sculpted muscles. Holy Magic Mike. He turned and shot a smile over his shoulder. Life was not fair. Or someone up in heaven had a sick sense of humor. “I can fill a bucket for you too.” There was no mistaking that flirtatious tone. Okay, that was taking it too far. The man knew what he did to women. Standing there wet, dripping with sensuality and almost nakedness, there was no way he didn’t know how sexy he was. She would not show it. She was good at hiding her feelings, and she could do it now. “I think I’ll pass.” “You know you want to. It was a bitch of a day.” “And a storm’s about to hit.” A clap of thunder sounded overhead, as if on cue. He laughed and stepped closer. She should have known what he intended to do, but her brain was still on the fritz from seeing him go all Channing Tatum on her. He grabbed her hand and yanked her out of the house and onto the porch just as the sky opened up. Rain poured down on them. “One of these days, I am going to kill you,” she shouted over the rain. “I’d like to see you try.” She snorted. It was insane. They were both standing there in the rain, as if nothing else was going on. “We need to get inside.” “Yeah, got any towels?” she asked. He pointed at the table. They were soaked from the downpour. “Brilliant, Santini.” “How was I supposed to know?” “The thunder, the clouds?” He shrugged and grinned at her. She knew that silly little smile worked on women. She had seen it with her own eyes. Hell, she had felt it herself. When a Santini man smiled at a woman, it was like the entire world faded away leaving just the two of them. It should be stupid. The rain was still drenching them, and they both just kept standing there. But somehow, she couldn’t get herself to move. Then, his gaze dipped down her body, and back up. She knew without looking down that her clothes were stuck to her body. “Get a gander, Santini?” Carlos took his time bringing his gaze back up to meet hers. “Yeah.” She rolled her eyes as she walked back into the house. Standing around with a wet Carlos in the vicinity wasn’t a good idea. He followed her into the house and caught her by the wrist. He didn’t have to yank hard to get her. She fell against him. “What do you think you’re doing?” She had tried to sound outraged, but instead, she sounded breathless. Anticipation curled through her as her pulse felt like a stampede of stallions. “I had some thoughts about our fight earlier today.” “What?” “That we wouldn’t have had it if I had just given in.” She frowned. “What the hell are you talking about?” He shook his head, then lowered his mouth to hers. The moment their lips touched, she melted. She had dreamed about this for months, thought about it the first time she had seen him standing at the fence waiting to learn to ride. God, he was delicious. Like sugar-coated funnel cake on a hot summer afternoon delicious. He slipped his hands down to her waist as she slid hers up to his shoulders. As he urged her closer, he deepened the kiss, tracing the seam of her lips with his tongue. She willingly opened her mouth and took him inside.

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 the publication of her first book in 2004, Melissa has had close to sixty romances published. She writes in genres from historical suspense to modern day erotic romance to futuristics and paranormals. Included in those releases is the bestselling Harmless series. In 2011, Melissa branched out into self-publishing with A Little Harmless Submission and the popular military spinoff, Infatuation: A Little Harmless Military Romance. Along the way she has garnered an epic nomination, a multitude of reviewer’s recommended reads, over five Capa nods from TRS, thirteen nominations for AAD Bookies, and made the USA Today bestseller list in 2013 with The Santinis. Since she spent her childhood as a military brat, Melissa swore never to marry military. But, as we all know, Fate has her way with mortals. After twenty years as an AF spouse, she and husband, a long with their brats, both human and canine, are now happy they get to pick where they live. She lives in the middle of wine and horse country in Virginia and shops for million dollar homes in Hawaii. SOCIAL MEDIA LINKS

From New York Times bestselling author, Penelope Ward, comes a friends-to-lovers story with sexy new characters. After getting dumped, the last thing I needed was to move next door to someone who reminded me of my ex-boyfriend, Elec. Damien was a hotter version of my ex. The neighbor I’d dubbed “Angry Artist” also had two massive dogs that kept me up with their barking. He wanted nothing to do with me. Or so I thought until one night I heard laughter coming through an apparent hole in my bedroom wall. Damien had been listening to all of my phone sessions with my therapist. The sexy artist next door now knew all of my deepest secrets and insecurities. We got to talking. He set me straight with tips to get over my breakup. He became a good friend, but Damien made it clear that he couldn’t be anything more. Problem was, I was falling hard for him anyway. And as much as he pushed me away, I knew he felt the same…because his heartbeat didn’t lie. I thought my heart had been broken by Elec, but it was alive and beating harder than ever for Damien. I just hoped he wouldn’t shatter it for good. Author's note – Neighbor Dearest is a full-length standalone novel.
