Books in which Melissa has appeared:
Melissa was first introduced in DARKNESS CALLS and was the heroine in DANGER CALLS. Since those appearances, Melissa has made cameos in all of the following books in the series.
Now that Melissa has found love, she’s making up for lost time!Melissa’s life has been colored by the constant illness of her mother, which robbed her of any real family life. Her father, a gifted doctor and researcher at the prestigious New York hospital where Melissa is now a Chief Resident, spent all his love and time on his sick wife.
Because of this, Melissa doesn’t know what it is to be loved, except possibly the affection shown to her by “Uncle†Ryder Latimer.
Melissa is dragged into the vampire world by the untimely deaths of her parents in a car crash. It is at thirty-something that she first learns the truth about “Uncle†Ryder and the legacy passed to her from the first Danvers.
The secret will risk her life, but introduce her to sexy Sebastian Reyes, a man who can reach past her tough shell and awaken the loving woman within. Melissa and Sebastian become lovers and eventually are married. In DEATH CALLS, we see how their relationship has progressed to the next level — the start of a family.
Melissa is best friends with Sara Martinez, a nurse who works with her at the hospital.
Although Ryder has released Melissa’s child from the obligations of becoming his keeper, Melissa’s fraternal love for Ryder and his involvement with Diana Reyes — Sebastian’s older sister — invariably keep Melissa involved in the vampire underworld.
