Failure to Engage
Diagnosed with a genetic, progressive, chronic, painful, fatal illness, twenty-one-year-old wildlife rehabilitator Justin Reeves, isn't likely to make it to twenty-two. Reeling from the news, his plan is to go home, curl up in bed, and wait to die.

Instead, he meets eighteen-year-old Laney Oliver, a waitress with a heart of gold and enough optimism for the two of them.

Laney won't let him die alone. She won't let him die in peace, either. She does approve hunting for the legendary treasure of Verdigris Falls.

While Justin and Laney follow the clues left behind in a century's-old riddle, a deadly threat Laney thought she left behind, is searching just as diligently for her.

It isn't long before Justin finds himself desperate to hold onto life. But this time, it isn't his own he's afraid of losing...

Each mystery in the Terms of Engagement series is centered around the fictional town of Ocotillo. Each book includes new characters, and at times incorporates previous ones. All are stand-alone.

About the Author

Melissa R. L. Simonin writes the books she wants to read: good clean rated G romance, mystery, suspense, fantasy, paranormal, supernatural, historical, and Christian fiction, with main characters that inspire, who have senses of humor and are good at heart, and which leave one feeling encouraged and better for having read the book. Her characters have stories to tell, so she gets up early and stays up late, because she doesn’t want to miss a thing. Unless she feels like writing two or more novels simultaneously and giving up sleep entirely, she’s learned not to name characters until she’s ready to write, because once they have their names their stories begin, and there is no “pause” option.

In addition to racing to keep up with her characters, Melissa currently resides in Katy, Texas with Brad, her husband of twenty-eight years; sixteen-year-old daughter Emily; cats Pandora and Star; White German Shepherd Arctic; and Squinty the teddy bear hamster.

While famous for burning cheese sandwiches when her characters are in the middle of a conversation, due to popular demand she usually serves the rest of the household un-burnt offerings, grocery shops on occasion, cleans when absolutely necessary, studies the Bible daily, relies on Jesus completely, listens to Citizen Way and Hawk Nelson frequently, and carries her laptop and immersive headphones with her wherever she goes.

Melissa’s current and ongoing series include The House of Bannerman, Mystery Lane, The Investigations of Jack Ryland, and Terms of Engagement.
