Exclusive Excerpt for MADDOX by Melanie Moreland!

“Great news!”
“What’s up?”
“We got a whole bunch of building permits pushed through. We’re right on schedule—in fact, ahead at this point. We’ll be breaking ground in a few months.”
Aiden and I exchanged grins. “You’re right, that is great news.”
“I’ll send you projected dates and you can start your marketing plans.”
“Thanks, Jordan.”
With a wave, he left.
“Bent will be happy to hear that news.”
“Yeah, he will.” Aiden reached for the file folder he had carried in. “He wants to go ahead with his idea of exploring other companies for marketing. He wasn’t happy with the last firm.”
“I know. Did you come up with some candidates?”
“Yeah. I got the research done, made some inquiries, spoke to them myself, and narrowed it down. A few candidates looked good. One in particular.” He paused. “Are you sure you want to be involved with this aspect? You usually stick to the numbers side.”
I pursed my lips in thought. He was correct, but lately, I’d wanted something different. Things in my department ran smoothly, and I found myself with extra time on my hands. Ridge Towers was going to be huge for us, and like Bentley, I wanted to make sure we had the best of everything for it. Including the marketing. The firm we’d used in the past had changed ownership, and we weren’t impressed with their new strategies or marketing plans.
“Yeah, I need a new project. This is such an exciting event for us, and I want to be involved with you and Bent on it.”
“Okay.” He handed me the folder. “Here’s our short list. We both have notes on the top three. You can speak to them and add your thoughts, and then we’ll start the process of face-to-face interviews, listening to their ideas, and picking one.”
“Great.”
“One is local. The other two are out of town. One of the firms stands out.”
“Which one?”
“The one based in BC—The Gavin Group. A family-run business. Great track record. I spoke with the owner and the guy who would be our rep. Straight shooter, no bullshit. Eager to hear about the project and create ideas.”
“We’ve never gone outside the city before. Bent likes having someone close.”
“That’s the added bonus. This group agreed to have a local person on hand at our disposal. We’d provide office space, and they’d provide the body until the contract is done.”
“Great. I’ll read this through and make some calls.”
“Okay. I’ll leave you to it.” Aiden stood, taking the envelope containing my wedding gift. “Thanks again, Maddox. Cami will love this.” He held out his hand. “I appreciate you thinking of us.”
I shook his hand and he left.
I spun in my chair, staring out the window.
Us.
I had never thought Aiden would be part of an us. Or Bentley.
I wasn’t sure what I had thought. Given our various traumatic pasts, it seemed inevitable we would stay married to the business, none of us willing to put ourselves on the line on a personal level.
But they had and were now happy.
I turned back to my desk, my gaze sweeping around my well-appointed office. Its organized appearance calmed me. My days were busy and productive. I knew what to expect. I was always prepared and ready. I controlled my department tightly, the same way I controlled my emotions. I wouldn’t allow anyone to take away that control.
That was what made me happy.
Or at least, it used to.
**
That evening, my phone rang, and I hit the speaker button, the file I had been reviewing open on my desk.
“Maddox Riley,” I announced.
“Richard VanRyan of The Gavin Group speaking.” A deep voice resonated over the line. “I believe you were expecting my call.”

About Melanie Moreland

New York Times/USA Today bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of twenty-seven-plus years and their rescue cat Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.
While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys travelling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.
Melanie delights in a good romance story with some bumps along the way, but is a true believer in happily ever after. When her head isn’t buried in a book, it is bent over a keyboard, furiously typing away as her characters dictate their creative storylines to her, often with a large glass of wine keeping her company.
