The crowd momentarily hushed, holding their breath for her answer.
“Rae? This is killing my knee. If I’m down here much longer, I won’t be able to get up, and I’d like to walk out of here on my own.”
That brought a cheer from the stadium. Rachel caught herself on the big screen, then looked back at him. “I love you, Derek Ramsey. Of course I will.”
He opened his palm to reveal a diamond engagement ring. It wasn’t overly large or gaudy. It was just perfect. He slid it on her finger.
She threw her arms around him, and the din faded as they became the only two people on earth.

Rachel and Derek sat in the hotel bar long after the festivities had died down late into the night.
“I’m working on a deal with a local college to do some volunteer scouting of high school players. I’m also going to expand my business. This’ll give me great ins, and eventually I’ll work into a pro scout position.”
“What did HughJack and Carter say when you told them?”
“They were disappointed, but they’d also had some suspicions. They might have some consulting work for me in the future, such as scouting out college prospects.”
“Does your family know about your turning down the job for me?”
“They do. They’re okay with it.”
Derek grinned. “That’s a start. We have the rest of our lives to straighten out those relationships.”
Cupping his hand behind her head, he pulled her into a long, deep kiss and sealed the deal.

USA Today bestselling author Jami Davenport writes sexy contemporary, new adult, and sports romances, and has recently dived into Romantic Suspense with her new series, Gone Missing.
Jami lives on a small farm in the woods near Puget Sound with her Green Beret-turned-plumber husband, a Newfoundland drool monster, and a prince disguised as an orange tabby cat.
Jami worked in IT for years and is a former high school business teacher but recently achieved her life-long dream and is now a full-time author. A horse lover since birth, Jami showed dressage horses for over thirty years. Now she gardens and goes RVing in her green Winnebago Minnie, along with other travelling adventures. She's a lifetime Seahawks and Mariners fan and is impatiently waiting for the day professional hockey comes to Seattle. Jami still misses her SuperSonics. An avid boater, Jami has spent countless hours in the San Juan Islands, a common setting in her books. In her opinion, it's the most beautiful place on earth.
