The Rising (The Rising #4) - Kristen Ashley Page 0,174

stones on Moira’s were green.

“I have something you should know,” Moira said from her place sandwiched between the men who were lounged into a corner of the daybed.

“Yes?” Faunus asked.

“Mm?” Saturn murmured into his wineglass.

“I’m pregnant.”

Both men grew very still.

Moira carried on.

“And if it’s a boy, we’re naming him Teddy. And if it’s a girl, we’re naming her Teddy.”

Suddenly, the air all around them smelled of honeysuckle.

Faunus’s arms went about his wife, but his eyes lifted to the heavens.

“Are we all agreed?” Moira asked.

“Yes,” Saturn said, and at his words, Faunus’s gaze moved to him to catch him giving his husband a happy look before shoving his face in Moira’s neck, his arms that were about her as well, tightening.

She tipped her head back to Faunus.

Faunus looked into his beloved stellina’s beautiful face.

He smiled gently at her.

And he whispered, “Yes.”

She returned his smile.

They all pressed together.

Saturn pulled his face out of his wife’s neck.

Still tangled together in love and loyalty and hope for the future, they settled in.

And gazed at the beauty of the stars.

The End

And perhaps we’ll rejoin the adventure…

In The Mystics.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

KRISTEN ASHLEY IS the New York Times bestselling author of over sixty romance novels including the Rock Chick, Colorado Mountain, Dream Man, Chaos, Unfinished Heroes, The ’Burg, Magdalene, Fantasyland, The Three, Ghost and Reincarnation, Moonlight and Motor Oil and Honey series along with several standalone novels. She’s a hybrid author, publishing titles both independently and traditionally, her books have been translated in fourteen languages and she’s sold over three million books.

Kristen’s novel, Law Man, won the RT Book Reviews Reviewer’s Choice Award for best Romantic Suspense. Her independently published title Hold On was nominated for RT Book Reviews best Independent Contemporary Romance and her traditionally published title Breathe was nominated for best Contemporary Romance. Kristen’s titles Motorcycle Man, The Will, Ride Steady (which won the Reader’s Choice award from Romance Reviews) and The Hookup all made the final rounds for Goodreads Choice Awards in the Romance category.

Kristen, born in Gary and raised in Brownsburg, Indiana, was a fourth-generation graduate of Purdue University. Since, she has lived in Denver, the West Country of England, and now she resides in Phoenix. She worked as a charity executive for eighteen years prior to beginning her independent publishing career. She currently writes full-time.

Although romance is her genre, the prevailing themes running through all of Kristen’s novels are friendship, family and a strong sisterhood. To this end, and as a way to thank her readers for their support, Kristen has created the Rock Chick Nation, a series of programs that are designed to give back to her readers and promote a strong female community.

The mission of the Rock Chick Nation is to live your best life, be true to your true self, recognize your beauty and take your sister’s back whether they’re friends and family or if they’re thousands of miles away and you don’t know who they are. The programs of the RC Nation include: Rock Chick Rendezvous, weekends Kristen organizes full of parties and get-togethers to bring the sisterhood together; Rock Chick Recharges, evenings Kristen arranges for women who have been nominated to receive a special night; and Rock Chick Rewards, an ongoing program that raises funds for nonprofit women’s organizations Kristen’s readers nominate. Kristen’s Rock Chick Rewards have donated nearly $130,000 to charity and this number continues to rise.
