Devil's Dilemma - Mellett, Manda

. .

Résumé :
Melissa I wasn't the type of woman a biker would go for. I'm a homemaker type, not adventurous or bold. I fought it hard, but he dragged me into his world, and I found I liked it. Loved the family vibe, how everyone would gather around to protect what was theirs. Until, he vanished. Disappeared off the face of the earth. He'd pulled me in, now he's gone. The only explanation for him not coming back is that he's dead. Pyro She wasn't mine, and never could be. She'd been claimed by someone else. The perfect woman who I could never have as my own. I stepped up when she needed someone beside her. Held her when she needed a friend. That my brother was dead was something I'd help her accept. The truth though, that hit the hardest. How could any of us deal with the knowledge that there was something worse than death?

Biographie:
Manda's life's always seemed a bit weird, starting with a childhood that even today she's still trying to make sense of, then losing her parents in the late teens. Going from the tragic to the bizarre, who else could be unlucky enough to have had two car accidents, neither her fault, one involving a nun, and another involving a police woman? There isn't enough space to list everything that's happened to Manda, or what she's learned from it. But by using the rich fabric of her personal life, psychology degree, varied work experiences, and amazing characters she's met, Manda is able to populate her books with believable in-depth characters and enjoys pitting them against situations which challenge them. Her books are full of suspense, twists and turns and the unexpected. Manda lives in the beautiful countryside of Essex in the UK, the area's claim to fame being the Wilkin's Jam Factory at nearby Tiptree. She can usually find jars of jam which remind her of home wherever she goes. As well as writing books and reading, Manda loves walking her dogs and keeping fit. She lives with her husband of over 30 years, who, along with her son, is her greatest fan and supporter. Manda is thankful that one of the more unusual, and at the time unpleasant, turns her life took, now enables her to spend her time writing. Confirming, in her view, every cloud has a silver lining.
