First Comes Love – Prologue of Sorts

BEFORE YOU START READING THIS STORY...there are some things you need to know.

1. There are racial slurs and these are not meant to offend and do not represent my beliefs. They are part of the story line.

2. There are slurs against gender, sexual preference and well just about anything that can have slurs cast on it. Again these are not meant to offend and do not represent my beliefs.

3. There are a few things that could be considered political beliefs in the story. They're not my beliefs, so don't rant about them please. My political views are private, I'm pretty sure the only people I share them with is my husband.

4. There is foul language, A LOT of foul language. Say what you want but I know military guys and out in public they're polite. But when they don't think you're paying attention they have filthy mouths. So, yes I dropped the F-bomb more than once and there are also some creative words coming from Brennan. Yes I know it's out of character. It's been pointed out.

5. As always I put in T-chapters but there is still sex and lots of it. They're twenty somethings. I remember...nevermind. Either way the T chapters may be quite a bit shorter and I apologize for that but there's no way around it. The M chapters have more words since they are more detailed.

6. This story is about Michelle and Legates. Yes, Booth, Brennan and the gang will appear but they are not the main focus. So if you are looking for a B&B story you will have to wait for the sequel to Espionage In Washington D.C. which is being worked on as you read this story.

7. Also, I have a blog going about my stories where you can keep up with progress what's going on, sneak peeks, possible ideas and anything else that crosses my mind about my stories. During a posting of a story (starting with this one) I will post a blog each morning after I post the chapter with links and other fun information that you'll find in the chapter. Pictures of dresses, stores, hotels, whatever I found on the internet that was used in the story. You can find a link to my blog in my profile.
