Numbers Never Lie (Crimson Romance) (28 page)

“Not necessary.” She smiled slyly as she pulled back enough to see his eyes. “I’m fine by myself.”

“But you said your dad — ”

“My dad told me to get a bodyguard,” she said. “And I told him to mind his own business. I can take care of myself.”

Trevan smiled. For the most part that was true. Letting out a small groan, he leaned in to taste her mouth again. “I think I have just been conned.”

“Feel free to grab your keys if you want to,” Sophie gestured toward the trees.

“I think I’ll take my chances.” He murmured into her ear and turned her back toward the house.

“Yeah, me too.”

About the Author

Shelley K. Wall grew up on a farm outside of Kansas City, Missouri. She’s a graduate of Oklahoma State University with a bit of post-graduate work at University of Wyoming-Casper. She worked for many years in information technologies, as a network engineer, a project manager, operations director, and IT department head. She holds several technology certifications in various security, server, and network related avenues. After writing numerous project plans, IT directives, budgets, personnel evaluations, and strategic plans, she decided fiction sounded more interesting.

Shelley started writing in junior high as a member of the school journalism club. She wrote her first romance in high school English and subsequently pitched it in the trash once she had her “A.” She went on to take additional courses in college, but later veered in the direction of technology instead (not many women technology engineers in the world at that time and it sounded fun and a path to great fortune).

She now lives in Houston, Texas with her family.
