  He dug in his pocket for the $10 ring he’d bought at a minimart down the road and held it up. The fake diamond on top reflected the overhead light. “Now that I’m no longer a fugitive, I can get my hands on my bank accounts again, and I promise I’ll buy you a real one of these if you say yes.”

  Now he was blabbering. “I know as much about engagement rings as I do love, Savanna, so I figured maybe you’d want to go with me to pick one out. Maybe that’s the first thing we can pencil in on our fresh, clean slate together. A ring buying trip.”

  Her focus shifted from his face to the cheap substitute ring to his face again. “Are you asking me to marry you?”

  “Yes…?”

  Her laugh started low in her belly and radiated up. She threw her head back and let it out, and for a second, Trace worried that she was laughing at his very poor attempt at expressing himself.

  If so, he deserved it. He sucked at this shit.

  But in the next second, Savanna threw her arms around him and kissed him square on the lips.

  Hers were soft and needy, drawing him to her like wildfire. He kissed her back, parting her lips and sliding his tongue inside as he held her close, her body molding to his.

  After a moment, she drew back and wiggled her fingers at him. “Let me see that ring.”

  He handed it to her and watched as she slipped it on her left ring finger. It was a little loose, the big plastic diamond canting to one side.

  “I love it,” she said. “And I love you. Your actions speak louder than words.”

  “So that’s a yes? You’ll marry me?”

  “Two more things, since I’m not keeping secrets anymore.”

  His insides shrank a little again. “What?”

  “I want kids. Not right away, but soon. And I need you to keep an eye on Henley. He’s after my sister. I’m not sure he deserves her.”

  Trace laughed. “Whatever you want, Savanna, although I’ll probably suck at being a dad, but since you’re an overachiever, you’ll make a great mom, so I’ll do my best and hope the kids take after you. As far as Henley, I’ll kick his ass if he so much as hurts Parker’s feelings.”

  She kissed him again, long and deep, wrapping one slender leg around his and murmuring when she came back up for air, “How about I show you all the ways I can say yes to your question, then, Lt. Hunter?”

  Trace picked her up, enjoying her whoop of happiness, and carried her to the bedroom. He had a few things he wanted to show her too.

  Fatal Honor

  Shadow Force International, Book 2

  Miles is Charlotte’s one and only weakness. He’s also her only hope…

  To stop a madman and clear her name, British Intelligence officer Charlotte Carstons has no choice. She must track down former Navy SEAL Miles Duncan and ask for his help. Nine months ago, his team was gunned down in the Carpathian Mountains, killing everyone but him. While stranded in her cabin and waiting out a harsh winter, Charlotte nursed Miles back to life, losing her heart to him in the process. He now works as an operative for Shadow Force International and holds the key to completing her mission. What she doesn’t count on is Miles’ refusal to help her…or falling for him all over again.

  Charlotte is his fantasy woman. She’s also the biggest mistake of his life…

  Miles has never wanted a woman more than he wants the sexy, mysterious MI6 agent who left him without so much as a goodbye after their six-week affair. Back in the States and working as an operative for Shadow Force International, Miles provides private security and covert paramilitary services for those in need. Searching for Charlotte has turned up little, except the fact she’s skilled at deception and considered a traitor by her own country. Was their fling nothing but a lie?

  Together, they can save the world. Or destroy each other…

  When Charlotte shows up on his doorstep asking for help, Miles knows better than to get involved. But she’s determined to go back to Romania with or without him. He fears she’s walking into a deadly trap with a Romanian crime lord and a cover-up with MI6. Can he keep her safe as they travel across continents…and explore the depth of their feelings for each other…in order to access the truth? Or will misplaced honor and treasonous loyalties prove fatal for them both?
