“If you want to get technical about it, we did it. But the point remains, just keep acting with integrity and don’t bend. Worst-case scenario, they fire you. And then I get the house-husband of my dreams. It’s a no-lose proposition.”
This time his grin was genuine. “When did you get so smart?”
“Get so smart? I’ve always been this smart, Connelly.” She laughed.
He caught her around the waist and covered her lips with his. His mouth searched hers, and even as her body responded, her mind kept working.
She knew this conversation wasn’t really over. He wouldn’t be able to brush aside his doubts for good. But that was okay; they’d work through it.
In their seven years together, they’d amassed a horrific collection of baggage, ranging from murdered colleagues, murderous relatives, and deranged enemies bent on vengeance. And they’d yet to collapse under the weight of their challenges. She had no intention of allowing a job—his or hers—to topple them.

About the Author
USA Today bestselling author Melissa F. Miller was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Although life and love led her to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and, ultimately, South Central Pennsylvania, she secretly still considers Pittsburgh home.
In college, she majored in English literature with concentrations in creative writing poetry and medieval literature and was stunned, upon graduation, to learn that there's not exactly a job market for such a degree. After working as an editor for several years, she returned to school to earn a law degree. She was that annoying girl who loved class and always raised her hand. She practiced law for fifteen years, including a stint as a clerk for a federal judge, nearly a decade as an attorney at major international law firms, and several years running a two-person law firm with her lawyer husband.
Now, powered by coffee, she writes legal thrillers and homeschools her three children. When she's not writing, and sometimes when she is, Melissa travels around the country in an RV with her husband, her kids, and her cat.
