Ana’s face lit with pleasure.
“Someday, I’m gonna fight like my mom.”
Sam laughed along with the others.
“I have no doubt about that, Sprite!”
~~~
Nestled in Sam’s strong arms as they danced to the music drifting over the terrace, Annika gazed up at the man who was now not merely her lover and her beloved, but also her husband. That thought alone sent shivers of excitement over her already jazzed nerves.
Seeming to understand, Sam smiled.
“It’s beginning to hit me too, Princess. We actually did it. We got married. I know I said that given my mother’s penchant for the dramatic, that it would be a memorable event. But, damn, even my mom couldn’t have planned this!”
Annika laughed then asked the question that had been bothering her.
“Did you tell your parents that you aren’t coming back here, that we’re going back to Minnesota?”
“Yes, Princess, I did. They were surprised. They knew that I’ve always had my eye on the LAPD’s Chief’s spot. In fact, the Commissioner as much as offered it to me tonight.”
Sam’s smile broadened. “He was surprised when I told him that I thought I still had some learning to do. Meeting Nate and Luke helped. Those are two impressive dudes. Plus I explained that’s where your job is. I’m not above following my wife’s career. I know you’d follow mine if I asked.”
Annika nodded. “You know I would, Sam. But thank you. For the first time in my life I have friends I’m close to and am rising in the ranks every day. Thank you for not asking me to give that up.”
“I wouldn’t do that, Princess. Besides, what could be better than a honeymoon in the frozen Northwoods?”
He chuckled. “Nate said that it hit 20 below zero today in Chicadia Falls.”
Annika snuggled against his shoulder and whispered, “As long as we have a fireplace and a bed, what more do we need?”
Sam held her away from him in mock dismay.
“A bed? Who the hell says we need that? Yeah it’s good for variety, but from our experience this last year, the floor, a chair, or hell, the hood of my Hummer, serves the purpose.”
At Annika’s giggle, Sam added, “No, Princess, we’ve proven that as long as we have each other, props don’t matter.” He gave her a wicked wink. “However, they sure as hell can add to the fun.”
Leaning down, Sam whispered, “I love you, Annika.”
Annika nodded, “I love you, Sam. I’m glad you’re my husband.”
“Ditto, Princess. I’m going to spend my life making sure you never regret it.”

About the Author
I write Sizzling Romantic Suspense. My stories are the stories of my heritage. From the residue in my personal blender of mixed races, cultures and world views, my characters emerge. It comforts me to know that while evil slinks in the shadows, the “good guys” of the world sniff it out – and snuff it out.
You already know my stories are not your mama’s soft edged romances with swashbuckling heroes and blushing heroines. Heck no! These guys are arrogant alpha males and the feisty women who bring them to their knees – and vice versa… They fight hard, love hard and don’t mince words. They are dangerous men and women in dangerous times. Love, passion and ridding the world of evil? What’s not to like?
I am as real as the words on the page.
