Wild Cards (Charmed in Vegas Book 5)

“That’s so sweet.”
Kai reached into his pocket and pulled out a slender gold chain. Once it was fully displayed, she saw it was the crystal heart necklace Giselle had given her. “Remember this?”
Memories of their first night flooded back. She reached for the necklace. “I thought we left it in the penthouse. How did you get it?”
“I went back for it the next day.”
“Why?”
“I thought it might be important some day. Do you remember that you were afraid what was happening between us was a Fae illusion?”
She winced. “I remember.”
“Do you still feel we were tricked into falling in love?”
“No. What we have feels right.”
He knelt at her feet. “I was hoping you’d say that.” Kai took a small jewelry box shaped like an oyster shell from his pocket and opened it. A delicate gold band set with a square-cut aquamarine shimmered in the sunlight. “Make me happy. Marry me.”
Stunned, her breath caught. “Is that the…?”
“Yep.” He beamed. “It’s the same ring. After you returned it, I went back and bought it. I’ve been holding on to it.”
“Oh, Kai!” She swallowed her emotion, her heart racing. “You bet I’ll marry you! Hurry up, put the ring on my finger.”
Plucking the ring free, he slid it onto her left hand.
Adara gazed at her finger. “I love it.” She brushed an errant strand of hair from her eyes and felt they were tearing. Emotion welled in Kai’s dark gaze. “I take it we’re not going back to Vegas?”
“We could, if it’s important to you.” He stood and wrapped his arms around her. “Or we could live somewhere near San Buena, where the desert canyons meet the sea.”
She gazed up at him grinning like a fool. “Fire and water, together forever.”
“That’s what I’m thinking.”
The surf roared in. The blowhole exploded into a tremendous plume. They were both drenched in salt spray and laughter.

About the Author
Author’s Note:
Did you enjoy meeting Kai and Adara and taking a wild gamble on love? Want a little more Sorcery by the Sea? If you enjoyed Wild Cards, you’ll love meeting Fredi and Gus in Hoodoo Blue. A blonde BBW witch with attitude and a hunky Lycan get trapped together on a blind date. It’s very sexy and full of laughs.
Once you’ve read Hoodoo Blue, you’ll never forget the wayward witch Estele. Kooky Estele’s story is next. She is trying to graduate from the Master Mage Magic Academy, and the seaside town of San Buena will never be the same. Yep, Estele has been a very bad girl, and she’s going to meet her match in a handsome Brujo who drives an enchanted food truck. I’m going to mix Estele’s brand of loopy spellcasting with a priceless gem of infinite power, malicious demons bent on world domination, and thousands of innocent people at a county fair—what could go wrong?
