“Are you a spy?” he asked her very seriously.
“What?” she replied in shock and confusion. She heard the others chuckle as they moved closer.
“You just manipulated three federal agents, ate them up, and spit them out like a pro.”
“I was scared out of my mind,” she admitted.
Rye clasped her hand and squeezed it. “You were incredible.”
“Definitely made for us Hawkins men,” Mike added.
“I don’t know. I think she needs a little discipline,” Turbo added, and when she locked gazes with him, he winked as he gave her a smile.
“I think I need aspirin.”
“We’ve got plenty of that at our place,” Nate added.
“Your place? But I—”
He covered her lips with his finger gently so as not to hurt her bruises.
“Baby, we love you, want to marry you, raise a family with you, and live in Treasure Town with you for the rest of our lives. Now how the hell are we going to do that if you’re not living with us and making love to us in our bed every night?”
The tears rolled down her cheeks, and she sniffled.
“You love me and want all those things with me?”
“Sure do, sweetness. You need looking after, by all of us,” Mike added.
She knew he felt responsible for her abduction, despite how it all happened.
“I’m going to go see about getting you released. We can take a hell of a lot better care of you at home,” Turbo told her.
“I love you guys, too. I want all those things. A family, your love, and to wake up with you every morning and to go to bed with you every night.”
“Then you’ll move in right away?” Rye asked her.
She looked at Turbo.
“Deputy, use some of that sexy charm and powerful authority to get me out of here. I have the feeling that the four of you can definitely make me feel a lot better in your bed at home.”
“Damn, you’ll be out within the hour. I guarantee it, honey. You just get yourself ready for loving.” Turbo headed out the door, and the others smiled.
“You know you have to rest. They’ll be no making love for at least a few days,” Nate told her and ran his thumb along her lower lip.
“Oh, I think it will be a lot sooner. I trust you guys will take really good care of me.”
“Baby, you have no idea,” Rye said as he rubbed his hands together.
“Just you wait,” Mike said and slowly leaned forward and gently kissed her lip.
She closed her eyes and smiled, the pain in her head a light buzz as the love of her men destroyed any feelings of pain and replaced them with happiness.
She’d never thought for a moment when she came to the area that she would ever fit in or be able to become part of a place like Treasure Town. Rye, Nate, Turbo, and Mike had set her heart on fire and made her see that true love did exist and that happiness could be found with the right people at the right time. She was starting over again, not alone, not in fear, and not on the run, but in a place filled with first responders, just like her father and brother had been. She’d found her future, in the arms of four men she would love and cherish for the rest of their lives.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
People seem to be more interested in my name than where I get my ideas for my stories from. So I might as well share the story behind my name with all my readers.
My momma was born and raised in New Orleans. At the age of twenty, she met and fell in love with an Irishman named Patrick Riley Dwyer. Needless to say, the family was a bit taken aback by this as they hoped she would marry a family friend. It was a modern day arranged marriage kind of thing and my momma downright refused.
Being that my momma’s families were descendants of the original English speaking Southerners, they wanted the family blood line to stay pure. They were wealthy and my father’s family was poor.
Despite attempts by my grandpapa to make Patrick leave and destroy the love between them, my parents married. They recently celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary.
I am one of six children born to Patrick and Lynn Dwyer. I am a combination of both Irish and a true Southern belle. With a name like Dixie Lynn Dwyer it’s no wonder why people are curious about my name.
Just as my parents had a love story of their own, I grew up intrigued by the lifestyles of others. My imagination as well as my need to stray from the straight and narrow made me into the woman I am today.
Enjoy Hearts on Fire 5: Loving Frankie and allow your imagination to soar freely.
