Dan took Rosie’s reins and helped her down to the ground.
“You like it?” Dillon asked, dismounting Warrior.
“I love it.” She pointed to the little rise in front of them. “This would be the perfect place for a beautiful home.”
“Who told you?” Dan asked, his eyes narrowing.
“Told me what?”
“Told you about this place,” he said with a grin.
“No one.” She sensed he was hiding something. “What’s this all about, guys?”
Craig held her hand. “We were so hoping you would like this place, sweetheart, as much as we do. This is where we want to build you a home.”
“Oh my goodness. You can’t. It’s perfect. But you just can’t. This is too much. I love it here. I’m rambling again, aren’t I?” She looked into all their eyes. “Really?”
They all got down on their knees in front of her and in unison said, “Mary Kincaid, will you be our wife?”
“Yes.” Her heart skipped several beats. “I mean really. Are you serious? This is for real?”
They all stood and wrapped their arms around her, smothering her in kisses.
“I love you,” Craig said. “Yes, this is for real. When I first saw you in Wilde standing on the street outside the diner I told my brothers that you would be our wife. I didn’t know how. I just knew it was so. It had to be fate when we met up with you again in the diner and you were sitting with our parents. Since then you’ve made my life complete, sweetheart. You’re my world.”
“And you are mine,” she said. “I love you, too.”
Craig kissed her.
When the kiss ended, Dillon pulled her in tight. His loving gaze warmed her. “Mary, I know it has been like a whirlwind for all of us, but I’ve never been as happy as I am now with you in my life. I knew from the beginning I wanted you fore
ver. You are the girl I dreamed about, and now that dream has come true.” He pressed his lips to hers. “I love you.”
“I love you, too.”
Dillon stepped to the side and Dan moved in front of her, wrapping his arms around her. His eyes were wide and inviting. “I could just say ‘ditto’ because what Craig and Dillon just said is absolutely true. I feel exactly the same way. You’re the most amazing woman I’ve ever met, sweetheart. Charming, beautiful, funny, and at the very heart of you is goodness. All the attributes that any man would want, but you chose us.”
“And you chose me, too.” She got up on her tiptoes and kissed him. “You all did.”
“I love you, honey,” he said, devouring her lips once again.
“And I love you. All of this is so new to me. I hope you don’t mind teaching me about this lifestyle.”
“Mind?” Craig smiled. “We can’t wait.”
“Let’s get back to my place,” Dan said. “We have dinner all ready for you and another surprise.”
“Another one?” She grinned. “Hear that, Rosie. My guys are spoiling me.”
“And we plan on spoiling you for the rest of your life,” Dillon said.

Mary handed Rosie’s reins to Dan. “I like your house. It reminds me of a gingerbread cottage.”
“That was my inspiration, actually. Mom makes them for Christmas every year. Are you ready for your next surprise?”
Holding Dillon’s hand, she nodded.
