“Nothing Excalibur can’t fix.” I stepped up to him and caressed his bloody face. “I could really use a kiss.”

Wrapping his arms carefully around me, my husband lowered his mouth to mine. “I love you, Angel.”

His long, gentle kiss touched my soul. “And I love you, sugar.”

My cousin shouted, “Bella! Derek! Where are you?”

“Over here,” I shouted back. “Are you ready to show the world your amazing discovery?”

“Our amazing discovery,” Derek corrected.

“And I think it can wait until we come back from Maui.”

I grinned up at him. “Two weeks in paradise sounds like heaven.”

“A month in paradise is even better,” he amended and his mouth closed over mind in a hot, intoxicating kiss.

About the Author

I was a — dispatcher for thirty-one years and to keep insanity at bay, I took up writing. Not to worry. The insanity isn’t catching – much. Other than the addiction to chocolate and the twitch in my left eye, I’m good. I’ve had my weird but true stories published in newspapers and magazines. My current project is Vexing Voss, the next in the Coletti Warlord series.
