written in seashells and seaweed on the sand. In parentheses was AND ME, with an arrow pointing to Cody. Harley traipsed right through the message, tail whipping through the air, but her eyes were glued to those words. At least, until tears blurred them.
Cody bounced on his heels. “Well? Will you?”
“Yes! Yes, I’ll marry you! Both of you!” She threw her arms around Raleigh’s neck as Cody let out a shout.
Within moments, she felt his small arms come around behind her, and she was sandwiched between the most wonderful men in the world.
Pax made his way up, slowly clapping and making those earsplitting whistles. “So when’s the wedding?”
“Let me catch my breath on this,” Mia said, accepting a hug as he stepped up beside them.
Raleigh shook his hand. “We’ll let you know, since you’re the best man.”
“Why, thank you for asking. Or was that telling? Either way, I’m honored.”
When Raleigh turned his attention back to Mia, the look of love he gave her stole her breath away. “I’m honored, too. I have a great friend, a fantastic kid, and an amazing, beautiful woman in my life.”
“And do you finally believe you deserve it?”
“Yeah, I do.” He kissed her. “I do. I do. I do.”
This book is dedicated to all cancer survivors, as well as those who have lost their battles, and their loved ones who have fought valiantly with them.
And, most especially, it is dedicated to Nancy Zokran, my dear, lovely friend who always made me smile, and her sweet husband, Al. As soon as I knew that Mia’s grandmother was feisty and fun, I had to name her Nancy.

Knox Logan sat at the Justiss Alliance’s conference table as Chase Justiss told them about the human trafficking trail that had started with Sax’s last mission in the Bahamas. Knox had been involved peripherally, but he wanted a bigger role this time. Needed it. His hand even flexed, as though it were gripping his Glock. He needed to make a difference.
