Justified Secrets

Melissa Schroeder

Book 1 in the TFH Team Bravo
Part of the Harmless World

202 pages, Kindle Edition

Published October 4, 2024

The newest team in Task Force Hawaii is ready for duty.

Everyone has secrets, but hers could get them both killed.

Autumn Bradford has always been a little…different. The daughter of a cult leader, she has spent her life fighting the bad guys and searching for the father everyone thinks is dead. One thing stands in her way, the new leader of Team Bravo.

Former SEAL Seth Harrington accepted the job at TFH for a new start. Years of dangerous missions has left his body and soul scarred. He doesn’t have time for a woman with too many secrets and the eating habits of a hobbit-no matter how attractive he finds her.

Autumn doesn’t need a keeper or a protector, but every time she turns around, Seth seems to be there. Time together makes it difficult to avoid their attraction, and one stolen kiss makes it impossible to resist the temptation. Falling in love wasn’t in the plans for either of them, but Seth realizes he will do anything to protect her, even if it means facing down the most dangerous man either of them know: her father.

Author Note: This is a Harmless World Novel with our favorite crime fighting heroes and heroines! There are secrets (duh!), inappropriate jokes, Hawaiian food, a betting pool as usual, and a new team to get to know.

Melissa Schroeder starts off the new TFH Bravo Team Series, Justified Secrets with a one sit read.

Justified Secrets is a thrilling beginning to a new series that comes from a series that I absolutely adored. Autumn has experienced things that no young woman should have to go through. She was saved from a world that could have made her a very different person and now she has made it her mission to make sure justice is served. Seth is part of the Bravo team of the Task Force Hawaii and has worked with Autumn. He knows she harbors secrets of her past however he cannot help the attraction that he has for her. The two try to go on with the job, but yet when the chemistry explodes the chemistry explodes. And just when it does, Autumn’s fear stands right in front of her. Seth is determined to save her in anyway he can.

Justified secrets was a one sit read for me. I haven’t had one of those in quite a while and truly it was something I needed. Having read the task force Hawaii books I am familiar with both of the characters and I have to say I am happy to have had this story. Autumn and Seth have chemistry for days and I love when it comes to ahead. The story has so many classic Melissa Schroeder parts that I smiled so much. I always love the family aspect of the stories. They are also quite steamy and highly entertaining. I can’t wait to see what is in store for the bravo team.
