Excerpt

I’d never seen Scott so nervous. I’d seen him upset, angry, worried, and shocked—heck, I’d even seen him depressed—but never nervous. Not fun nervous, anyway. He sucked in a breath and began.

“Before I met you, I had no idea what being in love was like. I thought I knew, but I didn’t have a clue. Being with you has taught me so much these past few years. Not only are you the most gorgeous creature I have ever laid eyes on …” He smirked, his eyes dancing with erotic thoughts, something I saw whenever he was “in the mood,” which was pretty much all the time.

“And sexy as hell, but you are braver than anyone I’ve ever known.” A shadow fell over his face. “On top of that, and even after all you have been through, you still have the biggest heart. Being with you makes me want to be a better person.”

He shook his head and exhaled. “I find myself imagining things that I never thought I’d ever want.”

“Like what?”

The words tumbled out of my mouth like a five-year-old with no self-control. The corners of his luscious lips twitched upward.

“Well, for starters … a house … with kids … a dog. The thought of you mothering my children someday makes me believe that dreams can come true.”

He looked down for a moment and shook his head again before pinning my gaze with his vibrant blue eyes.

“I realize you’re too good for me. And I also know that I don’t deserve you, but f*ck if that’s going to stop me from asking you the most important question of my life.”

He inched closer, his irises locking me in place, his voice low and imploring.

“After we graduate next spring, Sara Browne, will you do me the honor of being my wife?”

My eyes welling with tears, I leaned forward and fell into his big, burly arms, his musky scent welcoming and his lips tapping tiny kisses against my head and cheek.

“Of course, I will. I can’t imagine anyone else as my husband or the father of my children. So, yes, yes, yes,” I said, giddy and slightly dizzy from the emotions swirling through my head, my heart, and every cell of my body.
