"Wedding day! You mean? Really?" Kirsty couldn't believe she'd heard him correctly.
"Yes, really. I hope you don't mind, but I'm a bit old fashioned about some things." He hitched up his immaculately-pressed trousers and went down on one knee. "Kirsty Lawrence, I love you with all my heart. Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
"Oh, Reeve, I... Yes. The answer is yes. I'd love to be your wife and your head chef." Kirsty's words came out in a breathless rush.
He rose and his arms enfolded her.
"This is where you belong, my Kirsty," he murmured as he rained small kisses over her face. "Here in my arms for evermore."

About Sue Perkins
SUE SPENT THE EARLY years of her marriage traveling the world with her husband. This included two years living in the Middle East with their young family. A short while later the family moved to New Zealand. Sue and her husband now live on a three-acre block at the top of New Zealand's South Island. Their two children have carried on the family tradition of globetrotters.
Sue loves reading and writing fantasy, romance, young adult, and juvenile. When asked if she would ever stop writing she replied "Not until all the plots in my head have been written—which probably means I'll never stop."
Her hobbies include reading, writing, and craftwork. Researching family history is another leisure activity holding Sue's interest.
