Sam the fictional detective and lover

Sam McKelvey is the product of the fertile imagination and creativity of Cindy Kirk. He gets the lead role in her novel "One Night Stand" which was published in 2008.

The plot goes thus:

Marcee Robbens is a CPA in a big Chicago firm. She’s a confident, attractive, self-possessed woman accustomed to getting what she wants. She does feel as if her job, and maybe even her life, are stagnant, but isn’t sure what to do about it. When she finds out that her teenage step-brother needs an adult to stay with him so he can finish his senior year at his small town high school, it works out well for Marcee to move back to the town she hasn’t seen for almost 15 years.

Sam McKelvey is a widowed police detective in Chicago. He's not quite sure how to reach his teenage daughter, so when he is offered a contract in a small town, he accepts, thinking the new lifestyle will allow him the two to bond.

Months earlier, Sam and Marcee had met and spent a wonderful night together. Each agreed that they were too busy to pursue anything more. But after thinking of each other frequently, it seems too good to be true that they are now next door neighbors in Ellwood and that the attraction between them remains. However, they are uncertain of each other’s feelings, and more importantly, neither wants to create an unsavory reputation for themselves in gossipy Ellwood. Sam and Marcee must sort out their feelings for each other while figuring out what they want for their future. 

The blurb spares nothing!

"Marcee Robbens found herself in the arms of a sexy stranger before the bouquet was even tossed at her best friend's wedding. And after a night of hot caresses and knee-weakening kisses in handsome Sam McKelvey's arms, even happily single Marcee is humming the wedding march. So when the sun comes up and Sam hits the road, the usually tough-as-nails beauty finds herself nursing a tender heart. . . .

"Sam's not the kind of guy who would have a super-hot hook-up with a woman he barely knows. But something about Marcee had him mesmerized—enough for this usually sensible single dad to abandon his responsibilities for one unforgettable night. But Sam never thought his one night stand would turn up as his new next-door neighbor. Or that once he glimpsed the soft side of this captivating woman, he'd find himself falling in love."

So if you read this and find out what happens to Sam and Marcee - do let us know and especially if it is fiction reflecting fact!
