Jim Beam Read online

  “Am I going to be a big brother?” Jimmy asked with big eyes.

  JB nearly dropped the poor kid.

  Cheyenne did choke on her coffee. “No. Honey. Not that big. But it is really good news for you.” She pulled out the piece of paper and flattened it on the table.

  JB set Jimmy down on the chair. “That right there is your name change.”

  “You mean my last name is now Whiskey? Like you, Daddy?” Jimmy asked. “Just like you promised.”

  “Yes.” JB swiped at his eyes.

  “But what about Mommy? When can she have the same last name?”

  “Funny you should bring that up, Jimmy.” JB turned his attention to Cheyenne. He didn’t bother lowering himself to one knee. That would be too traditional, and nothing about their romance screamed conventional. “Tell me you love me.”

  She smiled. “You know I do.”

  “Say the words.”

  “I love you,” she said with a throaty laugh.

  “Good.” He held up the ring. “Now say you’ll marry me.”

  “Holy crap,” she exclaimed. “Why, Jim Beam Whiskey. What the heck have you gone and done?”

  “Do I really need to give you a dissertation on a man buying an engagement ring for the woman he loves?”

  She shook her head, taking the ring and slipping it onto her finger. “It’s perfect.”

  “Is that a yes?” he asked.

  “Oh, that is a hell yes.” She threw herself into his arms. “I belong to you. And only you. I love you, JB.”

  “I love you more, Cheyenne.” His lips clamped down over hers in a lip-lock that sealed their fate.

  They’d forever be intertwined as one.

  About the Author

  Welcome to my World! I'm a USA Today Bestseller of Romantic Suspense, Contemporary Romance, and Paranormal Romance.

  I first started writing while carting my kids to one hockey rink after the other, averaging 170 games per year between 3 kids in 2 countries and 5 states. My first book, IN TWO WEEKS was originally published in 2007. In 2010 I helped form a publishing company (Cool Gus Publishing) with NY Times Bestselling Author Bob Mayer where I ran the technical side of the business through 2016.

  I'm currently enjoying the next phase of my life...the empty NESTER! My husband and I spend our winters in Jupiter, Florida and our summers in Rochester, NY. We have three amazing children who have all gone off to carve out their places in the world, while I continue to craft stories that I hope will make you readers feel good and put a smile on your face.
