to check on her and the baby the next day. Immediately afterwards, the guys filed in, all headed to where Holly lay.
    They crowded around, easing on to the bed with her but being careful not to jostle her.
    They stared in awe at the baby, each taking turns touching his cheek or his tiny fingers.
    “He’s beautiful,” Ethan whispered reverently.
    Ryan curled an arm around her shoulders and hugged her to him. “Are you all right? How are you feeling?”
    “Yes, baby, how are you feeling?” Adam asked, concern darkening his eyes.
    Her chest clenched. Tears swam in her eyes as she surveyed the scene before her. “I’m fine,” she choked out. “I’ve never been better.” And it was the truth. How did life possibly get better than at this moment? It would never be as perfect again.
    This picture would be forever locked in her memory. As frightened as she’d been, now that it was over, she couldn’t imagine a better delivery. No sterile hospital environment. No strangers bringing her son into the world. Just the men she loved more than life. Just the way it should be.
    She looked up at Ryan who was still studying the baby with an expression akin to rapture. “Do you want to hold him? You’re the only one who hasn’t yet.”
    “I’d love it,” he said huskily.
    She lifted the bundle up, and Ryan eased his large hands around the tiny baby. He cradled him to his chest and watched in fascination as his son opened his eyes.
    “What are we going to name him?” Ethan asked.
    “Seth,” Holly replied. “I like the name Seth.”
    “Seth Colter. It’s a fine name,” Adam said, his eyes softening when they met Holly’s. “Thank you.”
    She cocked her head, smiling up at him. “For what?”
    “For our son. For loving us. For understanding us,” he returned.
    Her throat tightened, and for a moment she couldn’t have spoken if she wanted. She struggled to process the surge of emotion that built and swelled within her. Suddenly it was too much and not enough all at the same time.
    She was safe. She was loved. She loved with all her heart. She was home.

    Colters’ Legacy, Book Two
    When police officer Seth Colter sees the delicate, shabbily dressed beauty in line at the soup kitchen where he’s serving, he’s gut shot over the idea of her being on the streets cold and alone. More baffling is the dark, possessive instinct that tells him she belongs to him.
    For Lily Weston, home is a secluded nook in a back alley—until Seth offers her a place to stay. She’s wary of his offer, but even one night out of the cold is too much temptation to resist.
    Seth is convinced Lily is his. The problem is, when his brothers lay eyes on her, the same primitive instinct comes roaring to the surface. The Colters never imagined they’d follow the unconventional path of their fathers, but they can’t ignore their mutual need to offer Lily their protection—and their love. But before Lily and the brothers can forge a future together, they must heal the deep wounds of her past.

    Seth Colter walked into the soup kitchen and was greeted by a chorus of hellos from several police officers from his precinct.
    “Hey man, I didn’t think you were going to make it,” Craig Sumner called.
    Seth cracked a smile, surprised at how glad he was to see the guys he’d worked with for the past few years. “I said I would be here.”
    “How are you feeling?” Rob Morgan asked as he slapped Seth on the back.
    “Better,” Seth acknowledged, and for the
