eyes. “Rowan,” she groaned. He dipped his head and licked and kissed the pulse at the base of her neck. He sucked soft, then hard.
    Sawyer reached beneath his kilt. He had on underwear, darn it! She cupped his ass. She squeezed him to the wet heat of her and rubbed herself against him. A guttural sound escaped his throat. “Aw, you’re killing me woman.” She did another slow grind against him, “A short engagement!” Rowan groaned. It took every ounce of his self-control to step back. “Cricket, I can’t wait until you’re mine.”

Chapter 6
    The wait lasted forty eight hours. Rowan and Sawyer were married by a stunned pastor friend who flew in for the blessed occasion. A smug Deena Camden sat between her children.
    Caleb – who inherited his mother’s blond hair and blue eyes and her adopted daughter Felicity – who inherited her parent’s chocolate skin and stunning beauty.
    Both siblings were surprised by the quick turn of events. “I didn’t even know he was thinking about that,” Caleb said.
    Felicity snorted, she flipped her natural long hair. The sister locks rippled to her mid back. “It’s a little sudden but Ro’s loved her for years.”
    “Hey, any girl who can quote The Star Wars Canon is a keeper.”
    “You’re such a dork.”
    Caleb tugged her hair playfully. “Ow!”
    “Children behave,” Deena said. She flashed them both an indulgent smile. Felicity held her mother’s hand. “You’re on cloud nine.”
    “I simply helped nature take its course now, all I need is for you to get married.”
    Felicity rolled her big brown eyes. “I’d rather swallow nails, thanks.”
    Deena squeezed her hand. “I’m going to Aberdeen for a few weeks to scout locations in Cedar Park, Georgetown and Pflugerville. I want you to come with me, I need your killer instincts.”
    Felicity gaped. “Mom, I’m busy in London.”
    “You’ve done a wonderful job honey, thanks to you, The Jane Austen is one of our most successful ventures. But our managers can take it from here, I need you in Aberdeen.”
    Felicity made a face. “Yes ma’am.”
    When Donavan McClain, Dylan Chambers and Seth McClain walked in the penthouse suite, side by side the trio made an arresting sight. Caleb nudged his mother. “Who’s the eye candy?’   
    Felicity turned, saw who was coming down the aisle and spun around. Her breath came hard and fast. She trembled uncontrollably and lowered herself in the seat.
    “What is he doing here?” she whispered in panic.
    “Who?” her mother asked.
    Felicity covered her face with her hands. “Make him go away Lord.”
    Seth stopped beside their row of chairs. Dressed in tailored navy, he looked devastatingly handsome.
    “Felicity? Felicity Camden is that you?”
    She lowered her hands but refused to meet his blistering gaze. Caleb and Deena looked between them as if to say – what’s going on?
    The strained silence between Felicity and Seth was palpable. “This isn’t awkward at all,” Caleb muttered. “Hi, I’m Caleb and you are?”
    “Seth McClain, Felicity’s ex-husband.”
    Had Seth sprouted horns he couldn’t have shocked them more. He grinned, satisfied the damage was done and walked away.
    Deena and Caleb glared. They both spoke at the same time.
    “What the hell is he talking about?” Deena hissed.
    “A secret husband? Do tell!” Caleb said.
    Felicity bit her lip hard enough for it to bleed, grateful for the interruption of the ceremony.
    Sawyer hardly recognized herself. The Vera Wang Chantilly lace wedding gown felt luxurious against her skin. Harper placed the delicate veil in her mahogany curls. Emerson clasped her own emerald bracelet on Sawyer’s wrist for something borrowed. Still frail from his treatment, Booker Landon endured the plane ride to walk his only child down the aisle.
    “You okay daddy?” she asked anxiously.
    He rasped, “Never been better!” He beamed with pride. His home health aide, Clinton hovered nearby. Sawyer wanted to
