Christmas In The City (Imperfect Match 1.50)
“Noelani,” I say, reaching for her small hand and poising the ring at her finger. “Marry me.”
Kimo chokes, steps forward, and reaches for Lani’s wrist again. Before I can snap him in two, she does.
“Guards,” she says, not raising, but firming her voice. It’s an order she doesn’t even have to complete. Two of the men standing by seize Kimo by the arms and pull him away.
“What do you say?” I ask, ignoring Kimo’s protests and misplaced indignation.
A slow smile takes over her face by inches. A tender heat enters her eyes, and I imagine she’s remembering our night together. Not just the fucking, but the intimacy. The sincerity of our connection. It’s more than many couples start with. I think it’s more than enough.
She slides her finger forward so the modest gold band slides into place, and she smiles.
It’s a smile promising me
worlds upon worlds.
She takes a deep breath, and says, very simply, “I say yes, Grim. Yes.”

He wants me to be his queen...
Warned as a girl to keep her kisses to herself, Greer Galloway wants nothing to do with kisses—or love. Twice she's ignored the childhood warning and kissed a man, and both times ended in gutting, miserable heartbreak. Now she's sworn off all romance forever, determined to teach her classes and do her research and live out the rest of her days alone.
I want to be his everything.
But Ash Colchester hasn't sworn off Greer—not at all. Still in love with the girl he once kissed in a circle of broken glass, this soldier-turned-President has never forgotten the taste of her lips or the sound of her whispered, yes, please against his mouth. He's never forgotten the promises he wanted to make her and couldn't, because she was too young for him then, and far too innocent for the things he needs. But he can't wait any longer…
From the USA Today bestselling author of Priest and Misadventures of a Curvy Girl comes a contemporary reimagining of the legend of King Arthur, Guinevere, and Lancelot—elegant, carnal, and unforgettable.
