Sometimes a girl needs a white knight to save her, even if it's just from herself. Life took an unexpected, downward turn for Melanie "Mel" Jenkins six months ago. After a painful betrayal, she left her old life in the dust to hide away and forget. That meant turning her back on her life's passion, and accepting a less-than-desirable job waiting tables at a dive bar on the edge of town. One seemingly normal Monday afternoon, someone new enters Mel's life. Nate Billings is gorgeous and mysterious. When he unexpectedly comes to Mel's rescue, she finds that her white knight is much more than meets the eye. This 11,000 word romantic tale is intended for mature audiences.
