Faith glanced at the dance floor and caught sight of Cole whispering something in Leesa’s ear. They were such a handsome couple, and Cole was such a kind boss. Maybe she should stay a little longer. She didn’t have to dance with Sam. She could just talk with him until he got bored and moved on.
Cole’s eyes turned serious, and Leesa looked over, too. He said something to her and headed in their direction with a scowl on his face and an angry bead aimed at Sam. Shit. This was not good. He was her boss.
Oh my God. What was she thinking? She shouldn’t dance with her boss’s brother!
“Actually…” Panic bloomed inside her chest as Cole neared. Cole respected her, but she knew he’d noticed the way she got flustered around Sam. He’d seen her turn beet-red with Sam’s compliments when Sam visited him at the office. She didn’t need him seeing her all swoony-eyed over him now.
“I really have to go, but thanks for asking, Sam.” She spun on her heel and hurried away before she could lose her nerve.

Acknowledgments
Thank you for reading Truman and Gemma’s story. I hope you fell in love with them, along with sweet Kennedy and Lincoln and all of our warm and wonderful family members, Quincy, Bullet, Bones, Bear, Dixie, and Crystal, each of whom will be getting their own happily ever after. Please sign up for my newsletter to make sure you don’t miss out on the upcoming Whiskey family releases: www.MelissaFoster.com.
If you enjoyed this story and want to read more about the Whiskeys and about Peaceful Harbor, try River of Love (The Bradens at Peaceful Harbor) or check out all of my alpha heroes and sassy heroines in my Love in Bloom series. Every book can be read as a stand-alone novel, and characters appear in other family series, so you never miss out on an engagement, wedding, or birth. You can find information on Love in Bloom here: www.MelissaFoster.com/LIB, and you can start five of my series free here: www.MelissaFoster.com/LIBFree.
There are so many people to thank for “circle talking” with me about Truman and Gemma. Alexis Bruce, Stacy Eaton, Amy Manemann, Natasha Brown, Elise Sax, and so many others. Thank you for always being there. A special thank-you goes to Nancy Stopper, for connecting me with attorney Aiden Smith. And heaps of gratitude to Aiden for helping me to understand the legal process. I have taken a few fictional liberties with the story, and all errors are my own, not a reflection of Aiden’s excellent legal knowledge.
As always, thank you to my incredible editorial team for helping my stories be the best they can be for readers.
