“Hey,” he said. “I won’t have to go to prison. You’ll have to keep putting up with my terrible jokes for the rest of the foreseeable future.”
“Do you ever worry about what you told them?”
“What?” he said, furrowing his brow. “What do you mean?”
“How you said that you wanted out because you were going to marry me,” I said. “Which obviously hasn’t happened—”
“Oh, yeah,” he replied, flashing me a wide smile. “I wanted the time I actually proposed to, you know, not be because someone threatened me.”
“Guess you have plenty of time,” I replied.
He laughed, throwing his head back, then leaned in close to me so that he could whisper in my ear. “I have been saving for a ring.”
My eyes widened. “I didn’t—I was joking. I don’t actually need anything expensive.”
“Good,” he replied. “Because this Key West vacation is expensive enough without adding the cost of the ring and at this rate, I might have to pay extra for the sunset.”
I turned around to look at him. “Wait,” I said. “Are you saying—”
“I know you don’t like to be blindsided,” he said, kissing my cheek. “You get jumpy. But I want to make you my wife, and—”
“Yes,” I said, a little too quickly.
He laughed. “I haven’t asked you anything yet,” he said. “You can’t say yes to anything.”
I scoffed, but when he put a crooked finger on my chin, tilting my head up, and kissing me, I forgot about everything but the touch of his lips.
“I love you,” he said. “I don’t plan to ever let you get rid of me again.”
“I love you.”
He kissed me again, then sighed as he pulled away.
“Wait,” I said. “I actually don’t think it matters that much if you are a little late.”

Author’s Note
Thank you so much for reading my book.
I love writing stories about love. I think they’re beautiful and fascinating. I think there are so many facets of romance left unexplored, and I’m so grateful that you decided to read this book and spend a little bit of your time getting lost in a universe I helped create.
I say help because it would be a lie to say I’m bringing these characters to life all by myself. They already exist—it’s just my job to bring them out of my head and into the world!
I really appreciate your time and support.
If you would like to support these characters, and this deep love I have for romance, for strong, passionate women, and for sexy, sensitive and strong men, here are a few things you can do:
Leave me a review. If you want, you can leave me a review before the book is officially released. Just drop me a line at [email protected] and I will make that happen.
Connect with me on social media. I have a Facebook account and I’m bad at checking it, but I love making new friends!

Blurb
Dr. Becca Baker wasn’t supposed to end up like this, in a dingy Vegas hotel drinking martini after martini trying to forget all about the marriage that was once supposed to be her happy ending.
She doesn’t want to go back to her life.
To her empty home, that she once hoped to fill with children.
To the hospital, where every other surgeon knows exactly what Scott did to her—but only his version of events.
While drinking in a city far away from her own home, she runs into the boy who made her life a living hell in high school.
Kieran Bloom looks just like he did in high school. Tall, ripped, with twinkling eyes and a smile to die for, the man looks like he could model in any high-fashion campaign.
But after graduating high school, his once-promising athletic career went off the rails, and he ended up attending to the needs of lonely and drunk people in a forgotten bar in Las Vegas.
His one accomplishment is having outran his past.
Until he sees her. Little Rebecca Baker isn’t so little anymore. She’s no longer the bespectacled girl with the frizzy hair and the annoying mouth-breathing habit who always spoke too damn much.
Now she’s beautiful, and funny, and interesting.
And she seems to want his services.
He’s not in a position to turn her down.
But Becca might have gotten the wrong idea about exactly who Kieran Bloom is… and now she’ll have to pay the price.
