After Midnight
by Merline Lovelace

Back when she was a scrappy eight-year old, Jessica Yount and her mother were escorted out of their hometown by the local sheriff-and she never found out why. Now she is back in Valpariso, Florida, drawn into a police investigation surrounding the death of a local man-and into an irresistibly passionate, tension-filled affair with Sheriff Steve Paxton.

Merline Lovelace's Bio

I come from a military family. Dad served in the European Theater in WWII and retired from the Air Force in 1961. Mom was a real trooper—she'd pack up kids, dogs, cats, turtles and parakeets and make every move a grand adventure.

After attending Ripon College, WI; Middlebury College, VT; and Princeton University, NJ, I joined the Air Force and met this dashing young captain my second day at my very first duty station. We were married in Taiwan and honeymooned in Hong Kong.

A year later, Al got orders to Vietnam and I immediately volunteered to go. He served at DaNang, I was in Saigon—NOT an experience I'd want to repeat, although it did give me great fodder for my book, DUTY AND DISHONOR.

Many great assignments followed: Eglin AFB, FL; Maxwell AFB, AL; Kirtland AFB, NM; Randolph AFB, TX. Serving my country was a wonderful experience, one I'd recommend to any young man or woman who loves adventure and being part of something important.

Now I've hung up my uniform for good and gone blond (yep, they really do have more fun). Al and I spend most of our time traveling or chasing little white balls around the fairways of Oklahoma—when I'm not glued to my keyboard, racing to meet a deadline, that is. Life is good!!!!!
