We are happy to spotlight Melissa Schroeder today at Smexy Books. She will be one of the many authors attending the Author’s After Dark conference in August 2012 in New Orleans. It was a pleasure to meet her at this year’s AAD conference. Her and Kris Cook sponsored a happy hour – a definite highlight of the conference ;)
Melissa Schroeder has been a busy writer since her debut in 2004, having published many books since that time. I not only enjoy reading her “Harmless” series but she is also fun to follow on Twitter and Facebook. You can find her website, HERE.
Her latest release is Infatuation:
Francis McKade is a man in lust. He’s had a crush on his best friend’s little sister for years but he has never acted on it. Besides that fact that she’s Malachi’s sister, he’s a Seal and he learned his lesson with his ex-fiancé. Women do not like being left alone for long months at a time. Still, at a wedding in Hawaii anything can happen—and does. Unfortunately, after the best night of his life, he and Mal are called away to one of their most dangerous missions.
Shannon is blown over by Kade. She’s always had a crush on him and after their night together, it starts to feel a little like love. But, after the mission, Kade never calls or writes and she starts to wonder if it was all a dream. Until one night, her brother Mal drags him into her bar and grill and Shannon gets the shock of her life.
Kade isn’t the man Shannon knew in Hawaii, or even the last few years. Twelve hours of torture changes a man, especially one who had never felt so vulnerable. He still can’t shake the terror that keeps him up at night. Worse, he is realizing that the career he loves just might be over. He isn’t fit for Shannon, or the love she offers him. When she won’t leave him alone, he decides to prove his point.
Shannon is still mad, but she can’t help but hurt for the man she loves. He is darker, a bit more dangerous, but beneath that, he is the Kade she has known for so many years. When he pushes her to her limits in the bedroom, Shannon refuses to back down. One way or another, this military man is going to learn there is no walking away from love—not while she still has breath in her body.
Ooh la la! You can find Infatuation on Amazon and B&N.

I will definately be reading Infatuation and am looking forward to it! I love the “Harmless” series and I enjoy Miss Schroeder’s writing style! Thank you for this opportunity!
Yeah! I am so glad Melissa is taking the Harmless series in a new direction – yeah for Seals! Also? The cover is yummy!
Congrats on the new book, Melissa!
HOT cover, too bad my Kindle link says “pricing information not available” and “not currently available”. Maybe because I’m in Brazil? Humpf…
Ooh! Very sexy! Thanks for the giveaway!
Aloha, Melissa! I know I’ll see you at RT … maybe AAD if we move earlier in the summer!
I will be looking for this book ASAP!
WOW – great excerpt; it’s on the list now. Thanks.
Already a huge fan, and love Mel’s new heroes. Can’t wait to read Kade and Shannon’s story.
The book sounds great! And I will say, the cover is hot.
Melissa is a new author for me, I would the opportunity to read some of her work.

Love a good story about a military man! I haven’t read Milissa Schroeder before but after this blurb I will have to check her out. Thanks for the giveaway!
Sounds like a great book. Thanks for the chance.
I love a book where the hero needs to be saved. Count me in for the contest. Debbie
Ooo… LOVE stories about SEALS! Well, any man in uniform, I suppose, but those SEALS really have it going on. Can’t wait to read this new one!
That sounds awesome! Strong hero and heroine and the hero is a bit wounded (well tortured)…that always causes some great drama and tension. Hope to check this one out!
Ooh, I love Melissa’s books :-) She’s a definite fave of mine! Thanks for the giveaway.

This book sounds soooo good. I love stories where friends become lovers, especially with the added conflict of being a sibling’s best friend.
