ACCIDENTAL AFFAIR

By

Leslie McKelvey

BLURB:  

Jack Vaughn is sure his life is over as he tumbles down the wooded hillside onto the deserted two-lane stretch of asphalt. Years of work ended with a single gunshot. Yet, it’s not over.

A good Samaritan stops to help him, despite the danger he poses to her.

Laine Wheeler knows better than to stop for strangers on the rural Montana highway near her home, but her conscience won’t allow her to leave an injured man behind.

What she doesn’t know is the man is an undercover ATF agent tasked with infiltrating a domestic terrorist group. His cover has been blown and helping him will put her life in danger.

Though there is an instant attraction, Jack knows that beginning a romantic relationship with Laine would be both unfair and unwise. Yet the farther they run, the harder it gets to ignore the feelings that are surging between them.

EXCERPT:  

“Where are you taking me?”

“You need a doctor,” she said automatically.

His eyes shot open and his head snapped up. “No hospitals.” His head fell back, and when he spoke again, it seemed he was speaking more to himself than her. “They’ll be watching the hospitals. Monitoring the police bands, too.”

“Who are they exactly,” Laine asked cautiously, humoring him, “and why did they hurt you?”

He grimaced. “Let’s just say we play for different teams.”

“And what teams are those?”

“The less you know, the better,” he replied. “Just . . . please, no hospitals, no cops, or I’m a dead man.”

Laine thought for a moment. “Tell me something,” she said. “Are you a good guy or a bad guy?” She watched him and waited for a reply.

“I’m a good guy,” he replied.

“Of course you are,” she said. “Then again, if you were a bad guy, you wouldn’t tell me, would you?” He met her gaze in the rearview mirror and a chill went up her spine. His eyes were clear and gray, the color of charged storm clouds, and something in them told her even if he was a good guy he was more than capable of being bad.

“No,” he said, “I wouldn’t.”

He glanced down and she followed the direction of his gaze, gulping when she saw the pistol he held across his abdomen. It was a 9mm with a suppressor on the muzzle. This time, instead of a finger of fear, an entire hand grabbed her heart with icy claws and squeezed. Pictures of all the people she loved flashed through her mind’s eye as she cursed herself for a fool, tightened her grip on the wheel, and waited for the shot she wouldn’t hear.

“If I was a bad guy,” he continued, “I would’ve simply shot you and taken your car.” 

AUTHOR INFORMATION:

Leslie McKelvey has been writing since she learned to write, and her mother still stores boxes of handwritten stories in the attic.  Leslie read her first romance at 12 and was hooked.  When her high school Creative Writing teacher told her she needed to be a novelist, she decided to give it a try.  Finally, at the ripe old age of...forty-something...her debut novel, Accidental Affair, made it into print through Black Velvet Seductions Publishing.  The publisher has also contracted two more manuscripts, which will follow Accidental Affair shortly.

Leslie is a war-veteran who served with the U.S. Navy during the Gulf War, and she was among the first groups of women to work the flight deck of an aircraft carrier.  During her five years tour she was stationed at NAS Miramar and was an F-14 Tomcat mechanic and plane captain.  While in San Diego she spent time on the carriers USS Independence, USS Ranger, USS Lincoln, and the USS Nimitz.  The final two years of her enlistment were spent on Guam and her squadron frequently deployed to Japan and the Middle East.

She learned everything she knows about firearms and tactics from her police officer husband, who is a weapons expert, range master, and firearms instructor for one of the most highly-respected law-enforcement agencies in the world (and one he wishes her NOT to disclose).  He is her biggest supporter and her unpaid consultant on everything law-enforcement and weapons related.  She has three boys who keep her very busy and contribute daily to her growing number of gray hairs.  Her oldest son is a United States Marine and the younger two have vowed to follow in their brother’s footsteps (OOH RAH!).  She spends her off-time (kidding...WHAT off-time?) reading, taking pictures, and sending lead down range (that's shooting, for those who are unfamiliar).  One of her favorite scents is the smell of gunpowder in the morning....
