About this ebook

Former Army Special Forces officer Martin “Del” Delano is hunting a serial killer while leading TASK FORCE HAWAII. The last thing he needs is a distraction—especially one as tempting as Emma Taylor.

Brilliant, quirky, and impossible to ignore, Emma has a talent for seeing connections everyone else misses. She’s also the key to catching a killer. Working closely with her should be simple.

It isn’t.

Del can’t stop thinking about the smart-mouthed geek with the dangerous smile, and Emma can’t resist pushing the tattooed, Harley-riding alpha right to his limit. What starts as teasing turns explosive when one reckless moment lands her in his bed.

But while Del is falling hard for the one woman who gets under his skin, the killer is watching Emma too.

And when she becomes the next target, Del will do whatever it takes to keep her alive—even if it means risking his heart, his team… and everything he’s built.

Absolutely enjoyed this book. The characters were excellent and the interaction with Delano team was priceless. I wish a period had been put behind Stanton life as he served prison time and the inmates served up their style of justice.

Sassy comebacks, great chemistry between the duo, backed up by a very supportive, funny peanut gallery. That makes for a very entertaining and thrilling romantic suspense story.

About the author



From an early age, 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 the publication of her first book in 2004, Melissa has had close to fifty 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, three nominations for AAD Bookies and regularly tops the best seller lists on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. She made the USA Today Bestseller list in September 2013.

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. She is married to an AF major and is raising her own brats, both human and canine. She spends her days giving in to her addiction to Twitter, counting down the days until her hubby retires, and cursing the military for always sticking them in a location that is filled with bugs big enough to eat her children.
