Stand-In Saturday (Love For Days #2) - Kirsty Moseley Page 0,110
That would have meant a lot to my dad. There wouldn’t have been any problems getting his blessing though; my father adores Theo. They even go golfing together whenever my parents do make it back from jet-setting around the world.
“That’s so cute,” I coo. Another rush of love hits me so hard, I can barely cope with it.
“Here you go, lovebirds.”
I break away from Theo’s eyes and see that Donna, the receptionist, has wheeled over two small suitcases and set them in front of us.
I frown in confusion. “What are those for?”
Theo’s hand traces up my back, pulling me close to him. “For us. We’ve got a flight to Scotland in a couple of hours, and I rented us a wooden lodge for the week. It’s right on the edge of Loch Lomond.”
No way! I gasp, delighted, and look from my suitcase to his face, my smile falling when I realise it’s not possible. “That sounds incredible, but I can’t.” The disappointment makes my stomach clench. “Baby, I can’t just sack off work. I have meetings all day.”
Judy steps forward. She’s holding three expended party poppers. “It’s a good thing Theo has already cleared it with your manager then, huh?”
My heart melts, and I let out a little whimper as I look up at my fiancé’s grinning face. “You did?”
He wraps his arms around me. “I did. I thought it would be nice to go back to the loch, where I first got to know you. I figured we could celebrate our engagement in style. You know, wooden lodge, secluded setting with no one to bother us, roaring fires, maybe even a faux bearskin rug.” He suggestively raises one eyebrow. “And we’re definitely hiring out another boat. It might be a little cold this time of year, but I’m sure I can think of something we could do to keep you warm.”
Excitement simmers in my stomach at the mere thought of a romantic getaway with him. I sigh and look at him in awe. “Theo, do I really get to keep you?” My eyes fill with happy tears. Honestly, how did I get this lucky?
He nods, brushing his nose up the side of mine. “For eternity, plus a day.”
The End
Not had enough of Theo and Lucie?
Well, good news … the third and final book in the Love for Days series is about Aubrey, Lucie’s hopelessly romantic best friend. As with the other two books in the series, there will be plenty of hijinks, hilarity, some off-the-charts chemistry, and of course, some Theo and Lucie!
Fangirl Friday
Book 3 in the Love for Days series
Have you ever met the future father of your children but then accidentally friend-zoned him?
As senior editor at Hummingbird Ink, Aubrey Rowe lives and breathes romance. She can tell instantly what will sell, how to make the characters leap off the page and get readers to swoon, and what words to avoid—like moist. Ew … shudder. But in real life, Aubrey is a bit of a disaster. It’s been so long since she could update a relationship status to It’s Complicated that even her vibrator tells her it’s got a headache when she reaches for it.
Cue Colton Miller. Musical god with a smile like the devil and a voice like an angel. When Aubrey watches him perform a gig at her local pub one Friday night, she fangirls so hard that she falls at his feet … literally. The trouble is, she also accidentally friend-zones him. In fact, she pushes him so far into buddy-land that he somehow ends up moving into her spare room and becoming her new flatmate.
Aubrey doesn’t mind living with her secret crush. After all, she gets to listen to him sing all night and see him walk around half-naked, like he owns the place. But the longer this goes on, the more desperate she is to let him know that she wants more. So, she does the only thing a fangirling, semi-sensible woman on the wrong side of twenty-five can do—she sets up a fake Facebook profile to continue her stalking before finally telling him how she feels.
Her plan is foolproof. Absolutely nothing can go wrong … right?
