Miguel’s stomach flopped, he couldn’t believe his ears. “Well, that depends on whether you agree to my stipulations?”
“Which are?”
“This position is permanent; you don’t get any days or nights off but the benefits are endless.” Miguel had tears rolling down his cheeks. He reached for the chain around his neck that had Alex’s engagement ring hanging from it. He removed the ring and then reached for her hand.
Alex couldn’t believe that Miguel had been wearing her ring around his neck. With tears in her eyes and a huge smile on her face she yelped, “I accept.” Alex threw her arms around Miguel’s neck and they kissed and kissed and kissed.
THE END
Read on for an excerpt from Secrets & Lies – Book 2 in the Undercover Love Series.
“MILES, YOU’RE SO BAD. I said I felt like a sundae, not that I wanted to be a sundae!”
Miles reached for the whipped cream. “Well, I felt like eating the sundae.” Miles wiggled his eyebrows.
“My God, oh myyyy God. Miles, that tongue is going to be the death of me.”
Miles didn’t reply, he just kept doing what he did best.
“Miles, are you home? I need to talk to you.”
Miles jumped up like a rocket taking off. “Who is that?”
Miles didn’t think it was the appropriate time to explain that the woman who was yelling to him was also the one who had his heart. “Someone who will be leaving in a minute. Stay here, I will be right back.”
Miles ran down the stairs. “What are you doing here?”
“We need to talk, you’re right, I was afraid but I’m not…” Miles had gotten close enough that the chocolate syrup, whipped cream and lipstick were visible on his neck and chest. “Oh my God, you’re with someone else?”
“Did you expect me to become a priest? You told me it was over, you’re the one who walked away, YOU!”
“Miles, are you coming back?” Miles looked towards the stairs.
“If you walk away from me now, it’s over for good.”
