Caught (Men of the Show Book 3)
Page 24
“Well,” she said as she cleared her throat. “That’s where I’ve been for the past few months. I’ve been studying for the bar among other things.”
“You already took the bar,” he told her, confused again.
“Yes, in Michigan and Illinois, but not in…Arizona.”
That stopped him. “You took the bar in Arizona?”
“Yes.”
He studied her for a moment. He finally asked, “Why?”
“Because it’s what I want. To be where you are.” She hesitated. “That is, if you want me. Your dad is letting me rent office space for my own practice, and I’ve already reached out to local legal aid organizations in Tucson where I can volunteer my time and services. All that’s left is your decision. If you want me down there with you.”
Matt shook his head, unable to comprehend what he was hearing. “You’ve told your father to back off, turned down all the jobs around here, taken the bar in Arizona and worked out rent with my father for your own practice, all because you want to be with me, without even knowing if I still wanted to be with you?” he said, ticking each off on his fingers.
She nodded. “So, what do you think?”
He gave her a big grin. “I think you’re amazing, that’s what I think.” He pulled her into his arms and took her mouth with his. “I can’t believe you did all that.”
“It took me a while to get my head straight, I’m sorry,” she said.
“Just as long as you got here.”
She kissed him before pulling back. “Are you sure you want to do this again?”
“I’ve never been surer of anything in my life. I’ve finally caught the girl of my dreams.”
Shannon smiled and let him sweep her off her feet. He kissed her again and held her tight against him.
“I love you,” she whispered in his ear.
“I love you too.”
“I was so worried I’d lost my chance.”
“You’d never lose your chances with me.”
“I don’t deserve it, but I’m going to take it.”
Matt grinned and pulled her in for another kiss before setting her down and holding out his elbow to her. “Shall we?”
Winding her arm through his, she smiled up at him with eyes filled with love. “Absolutely,” she told him and finally, everything in Matt’s life was right.

About the Author
Rhonda owes her love of reading to her mother who would read to her each night before bed and sometimes give into her pleads for more than one chapter. These days, if Rhonda doesn't have a book in her hands, it feels like something is missing. While romance is her true passion, Rhonda enjoys reading multiple genres.
Born in California, but transplanted to the Midwest, Rhonda is warm weather girl to the bone (even years later, winter and her are not on speaking terms) and loves nothing more than a balmy, summer evening. She and her husband are diehard fans of pretty much all sports, but especially for their hometown Detroit teams. Rhonda received a bachelor's in Human Resources Development and continued onto a master's in Marriage and Family Counseling before making a drastic career switch into computer technology. She started out as a website developer and made her way up into management where she now spends most of her days in meetings. Rhonda was a life-long dancer before her body told her she needed to come down off her toes and wrap it up. She also loves all animals–especially moose. She is a proud member of Romance Writers of America.
