Welcome to my website! I’m so glad you stopped by for a visit. My name is Melanie Atkins, and I write romantic suspense. Mystery, murder, and love...with a twist. My stories are set in the Deep South, with hot cop heroes and women who know what they want. No fainting violets here. So click on the pages listed above and check out all of my books, my sizzling hot men with big guns, and my links. I hope to put a contest up soon, so keep checking back.

A very special cat with a unique, loving personality. He loved watching bird videos, playing with his furry little mousey-mouse, chasing his kitty pal, Widget, and letting me pet him while he camped out on the armrest of my chair. He was my muse and my best friend. I miss him so much.
