Colton's Secret Bodyguard

“Mr. and Mrs. Lucky.” She nodded. When he spoke again, his voice was slightly hoarse. “That was a proposal, Bree.” She looked up quickly, her mouth forming a silent O of surprise. “I was going to wait. Do it properly. Get a ring. Go down on one knee... But this seemed like the perfect time.”

“Any time would be perfect.” She rose on the tips of her toes to kiss his lips. “And my answer, of course, is—”

“Bree? Rylan? I’ve been looking everywhere for you.” Trey strode across the overgrown grass toward them.

“Say it quick, or I’ll have to get Papadum to sit on him while we run away,” Rylan said.

“Yes.” Bree dissolved into giggles.

“I’ll never understand why you two always start laughing whenever you see me,” Trey grumbled.

“Just high on life.” Rylan’s expression was pure innocence. “You can be the first to congratulate us. We just got engaged.”

“It’s about time. I don’t know what took you so long,” Trey growled, as he swung Bree off the ground and hugged her. He shook Rylan’s left hand. “Congratulations.”

“You haven’t come with bad news, have you?” Bree asked.

“No, just the opposite. I heard from my informant last night. He confirmed that those whispers of an attack on The Chateau or The Lodge have gone quiet.”

“This, among other things, calls for a celebratory root beer float,” Rylan said.

Bree linked a hand through Rylan’s uninjured arm on one side and Trey’s on the other as they walked back toward the house.

Trey frowned as he watched the pack bound ahead of them. “You do know one of your dogs is a sheep, right?”

Operation Hero’s Watch

by Justine Davis

Chapter 1

You’ve gotten soft.

Jace Cahill muttered it to himself, since he was alone in his misery. He’d gotten used to the dry and warm—okay, hot—climate of Southern California, and this blustery day in the northwest, driving rain down the back of his neck no matter which way he faced, was getting to him.

Of course, the fact that he’d traveled over a thousand miles by bus, hitchhiking and now walking might have something to do with it. He shifted the backpack that was getting heavier with every step. He was heading in the right direction, and he knew he was in Washington State, on the west side of Puget Sound, but that was about it. As another swirling gust sent a blast of rain into his face, he thought grimly that with his luck, he’d end up marching straight into Canada.

At least then somebody’d stop you and tell you where the hell you are.
