Julienne Wulf has always been the good girl.
You know the type. The one who never got in trouble, unlike both of her brothers. But after a very public break-up, she’s ready to walk on the wild side and have my first one night stand. A man she never plans on seeing again.
Until they come face to face a few days later at her new job site.
But that’s okay, she can handle it, and handle the sexy former Army Ranger named Alek. No, wait, she’s not going to handle him. She’ll deal with the situation like an adult.
Okay, that’s a lie. Or maybe not. Do adults agree to a short fling knowing that said adult is already halfway in love with a man? Well, that’s what she did.
As he spends his time showing her the real Hawaii, they both realize that their hearts are totally involved.
Soon, tongues are wagging about their affair. Worse, someone seems so angry about her relationship, they send threatening notes which morph into actual physical attacks against Julienne. With their relationship now fodder for the tabloids, she assumes he’ll walk away.
One thing you need to know about this story: she’s never been so wrong about so many things, especially Alek.
Warning: This story includes a good woman with naughty thoughts, a hero who wants to help her live out those fantasies, a meddling family–on both sides, and a trip back to the islands. This is another Harmless story, so you know the drill. Ice water is recommended and the author takes no responsibility for overheating readers.
Previously released as A Little Harmless Taboo. It has been edited for content.
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.
