Saved (An ALIAS Short Story): ALIAS Private Witness Security Romance, #3.5

By Lisa Hughey

Dr. Mila Patel's life is complicated enough and the last thing she needs is a boyfriend. But when she's got a chance to see US Marshal Shep Gaffney again, she can't resist. He's arrogant and sexy and annoying, but she's still attracted to him.

Shep doesn't get shut down very often but when he does he shrugs and moves on. But since their first meeting, he's been unable to get the sexy doctor out of his mind. 

A worrisome text sends Mila to a dangerous alley. Shep is determined to go along and protect her. But neither expects what happens next....

Here's a quick little holiday romance featuring characters from the first ALIAS book, Stalked. Dr. Sharmila Patel and US Marshal Sheppard Gaffney get their HEA after a rocky start. Happy holidays and happy reading! <3 Lisa

Lisa Hughey

USA Today Bestselling Author Lisa Hughey started writing romance in the fourth grade. That particular story involved a prince and an engagement. Now, she writes about strong heroines who are perfectly capable of rescuing themselves and the heroes who love both their strength and their vulnerability. She pens romances of all types—suspense, paranormal, and contemporary—but at their heart, all her books celebrate the power of love. She lives in Cape Ann Massachusetts with her fabulously supportive husband, two out of three awesome mostly-grown kids, and one somewhat grumpy cat. Yoga, hiking, and traveling are her favorite ways to pass the time when she isn’t plotting new ways to get her characters to fall in love.
