With his lips on mine, he picks me up against him and carries me to the bedroom, where we fall onto our brand new, fluffy bed, He wraps his arms around me and kisses me breathless.
“I love you, Deven,” he whispers as that fire in his blue eyes ignites.
“I love you too, Hudson,” I whisper, pulling him back in and kissing his thick lips again, not ready for this to end.
Almost on cue, one of the babies starts crying from their room next door. For now, we keep them close by, not putting them in their own rooms just yet. The doctor explained that since they’re triplets and shared a womb, that taking them away from one another right now may be a bit trying. All three of them are in one crib, always touching one another as they look around or sleep.
The two of us pull apart and go into their bedroom to find Aiden awake, big eyes looking around the room. I bend down and pick him up, holding him against my chest as I move across the room to change his diaper. Once he’s all fresh, I sit in the rocking chair to breastfeed him. Once he’s fed, burped, and sound asleep, I put him back with the other two, who are still sound asleep.
Looking down at their small faces warms my heart in a way in a way it’s never felt before. I thought Hudson was all I needed to complete me, but now I know I was missing something all along: these three. I didn’t even know I needed them this much until I held them. Our family is finally complete. I have all I need to live right here in this room, and I know that I’ll never let any of them go. I’ll love them all, I’ll protect them, I’ll die for them. Before, I always felt like I was born with half a heart and Hudson was my other half. But now I know that I was born with only one small piece of my heart, and each of them complete me. Hudson, Axle, Aiden, Adrienne, and me, we all make up one heart, one love, one home, one family.
Billionaire’s Unexpected Bride SNEAK PEEK!
“The rules have been broken,” he says. “We can’t pretend like they haven’t.”
* * *
I don’t break rules. EVER.
1. NEVER mix business with pleasure.
2. DON’T put my job in jeopardy.
3. Absolutely do NOT fall in love with a client.
* * *
Guess I should say . . . I didn’t break them, until I met my new billionaire client, Drake Slade.
Arrogant, rude, hated by everyone in town, and 100% NOT my type.
* * *
The day my perfect LA life was uprooted to move to middle-of-frickin’-nowhere Colorado was the day I was convinced my life was over.
* * *
Raise and promotion be damned, what good is it if the only place in town is a Dollar Store?
* * *
But here I am, wearing a denim skirt and cowboy boots, rootin’ and scootin’ my way around town, and square dancing my way into Drake’s bed.
* * *
Don’t worry, I have a plan. Sort of.
* * *
He’s just a little distraction to make my time here pass. After I get the town to love him, I can move back to LA.
* * *
Now I just need to convince my heart . . .

Celeste
“WHITE chocolate mocha with an extra shot?” the barista asks with a pleasant smile the moment I step up to the counter.
I smile and nod. “You know me so well, June,” I say as I pull the card out of my purse, passing it over.
She quickly swipes it and hands it back before getting to work on my coffee. As I wait, I check the time on my phone and begin going through some emails. I click on one from my friend, Jenny. The subject line reads: Rumor Has It . . .
Guess what I’ve heard being passed around the office? You’re moving from Los Angeles to Colorado! They’re giving you a promotion and you’ll be running the firm out there, being handed the largest client on the books for that office! Congrats, hon! P.S. Try to act surprised. I just couldn’t hold it in any longer. Love ya.
Upon reading those words, my mouth drops open. Where did she hear this? Is it true? Am I getting the Colorado account? If I am, when will I be leaving? Are they going to tell
