      Leslie Kelly

      Since the publication of her first book in 1999, LESLIE KELLY has become known for creating books with memorable characters, sparkling dialogue and outrageous humour. When she’s not writing light, sexy contemporary romances for Mills & Boon, Leslie flips to the dark side and creates dangerous, thrilling romantic suspense novels under the pseudonym Leslie Parrish.

      Leslie currently lives in Maryland with her husband Bruce, three daughters and two spoiled-rotten dogs.

      To my dear old high school friends Lori, Kim, Linda, Rick, Ed, Chris … and so many others.

      I’m so thankful for the memories we made so long ago and the new ones we’re creating today.

       Prologue

      “WE’RE ASKING YOU to take an extended leave of absence.”

      Lindsey Smith flinched, even though she had expected the words. She had, in fact, steeled herself for them before she’d taken a seat across from her boss, eminent psychotherapist Walter Ross, of the Ross, Riley and Wilhelm Wellness Center. She had to wonder if the other two partners had drawn the long straws, leaving Ross to take care of “their little problem.”

      “It’s not that serious,” she argued, but in her head she was screaming, This is so serious, your reputation is crap! “It will die down.”

      “So you’ve been saying, Dr. Smith. But that was before you became the subject of a Jeopardy! question.”

      Well, in her opinion, being on Jeopardy! had been kind of awesome, though she wasn’t going to tell her employer that. “But...”

      “And today I was informed you’re the subject of a me-me.”

      “A what-what?”

      Ross pushed a sheet of paper toward her across his desk, using only the tips of his fingers, as if the paper offended him.

      She scanned the sheet. Huh. She was the one who should be offended. Her picture appeared on the page, over and over, each time with a witty—but so not funny—quip. She read, “Had an orgasm while blinking,” and, “Comes when going,” before snapping, “It’s pronounced meem.”

      “However you say the word, it reflects badly on us all.”

      “You read my dissertation before you hired me.”

      He nodded. “I know. It was fine research. Your work with patients with sexual disorders has been outstanding.”

      But not outstanding enough for them to defend
