Keeping What's His: Tate (Porter Brothers Trilogy 1)

Tate spun her in circles, his hat falling to the ground as she cupped his face with her hands.

“I’m ready to go to the courthouse.”

He felt as if his chest was going to explode with the love he felt for this woman.

“Is this your way of proposing?” he teased.

“No, it’s my way of telling you we’re going to get hitched,” she repeated the words he had told her at the beginning of winter. “I’m ready to become a Porter.”

“I guess I’ll accept your proposal, then.”

“You better,” she warned, “if you know what’s good for you. Greer said he would kick your ass for me if you turned me down.”

“He did?”

She nodded happily. “They’re all going to meet us at the courthouse in a couple of hours.”

“Confident of yourself, weren’t you?”

“Where you’re concerned, yes. I knew you wouldn’t turn me down. You’re not a stupid man.” Her laughter never failed to touch his heart.

“It might have taken me eighteen years to marry you, but I eventually got it right.”
