ACCIDENTAL
AFFAIR

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.

“Nice place,
Evergreen Springs,” said a distinctly male, distinctly unfamiliar voice
from the backseat. “At least, it seems so.” Laine jumped and slammed on the brakes as a huge man appeared behind her in the rearview. He scowled as he was jolted against the back of her seat, and her eyes were immediately drawn to the pistol in his hand. It looked familiar, and so did the silencer, but this was a .45 and not a 9mm. Bigger guy, bigger gun.
He rested the barrel on her shoulder and rubbed the muzzle against the side of her neck. “Whoa there, pretty lady, calm down. Let’s not get carried away.”
He looked like a younger, stronger version of Mr. Clean, except for the earring. The stranger didn’t have one. He also wasn’t wearing Mr. Clean’s beguiling smile.
“What do you want?” she asked, though she had a sinking feeling she knew the answer.
“We’ll discuss that as we go,” he said with a leering smile. “Hell, if I’d known you were some pretty woman doctor, I’d have volunteered for this job.” He licked his lips and rubbed her neck again with the gun. “Now, drive.”
“Where to?”
He gave her a look that said she should know where.
“Home,” she said.
He grinned, though it did nothing to make him more appealing. It was a serpent’s grin, and a shiver went down her spine.
“You reading my mind, pretty lady? Better not do that. You won’t like what you find.”

AUTHOR INFORMATION:
Biography
Leslie McKelvey has been writing since she learned to
write. 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 finally made it into print through Black Velvet Seductions
Publishing. The publisher has also
contracted two more manuscripts, which will follow Accidental Affair
shortly. The next story slated for
release is Bear’s, so for all of you who fell in love with Jack Vaughn’s best
friend, get ready. The 6’8” FBI agent
saves wildlife photographer Beth Drummond’s life and loses his heart to her in
the process, a journey that tests the boundaries of loyalty, friendship, and
love.
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 of service she was stationed at NAS Miramar (yes, Miramar used to belong to the NAVY) and was an F-14 Tomcat mechanic. 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 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, the oldest of whom will soon be wearing the uniform of a United States Marine (SEMPER FI!). 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....

Thank YOU, Ingeborg, for taking the time to stop by and read!
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeletecould you imagine to turn your book in an audiobook as well?
shadowrunner1987(AT)gmail(DOT)com
Why, yes, yes I could, Ami! Then again, I can imagine turning it into a movie (I already have the actors picked out!), so an audiobook is an easy leap. :) Do you listen to audiobooks? I've yet to try that, but I imagine it would be a great way to spend a few hours. Do you have a favorite?
DeleteI admire many authors for many different things. I admire Dean Koontz for his descriptive abilities, Stephen King for his dark imagination, Jane Austen for her vivid portrayal of strong women that went against the norm of her day. There are so many I don't think I could pick just one. How about you? Who are your literary muses?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Jibriel!

ReplyDeleteA fear of mind - that there would be someone in the back seat. LOVE IT!!
