When he pulled back, she heard the howling. She glanced down at Rufus.

“
What did you do to my dog?”

“
Nothing. He just isn’t happy about that red bow.”

“
You’ve made me happy, Jules.” Then he smiled. “Now, do you want an ending like
An Officer and a Gentleman
?”

“
Good lord, no.”

He laughed pulled her up against him. “Angela, you can close tonight, right?”

“
Wait, you don’t run my shop.”

They walked down the aisle, the smell of roses in the air and a howling dog behind them.

There was one thing every woman knew: life with a Santini was never boring.

About Melissa Schroeder

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
.

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.
