Tori didn’t know if she was crying in relief that Trace still wanted her or because everything that had happened was catching up with her, but the great gulping sobs seemed like they would never end. When she was finally totally spent, she sagged against his completely soaked shirt, hiccupping the last of the emotion that had finally drained away.
* * * *
The gut-wrenching sobs had nearly torn Trace’s heart to shreds, holding his snow princess as everything bubbled to the surface was sweet torture. He thanked God again and again for giving him another chance and swore on his life he’d be the best husband that ever lived. When she finally seemed settled, he pulled her back just enough to be able to look into her swollen eyes. He smiled at her and gently brushed away her tears before he spoke. “Tori, you are the greatest gift I’ve ever received. I’ll spend the rest of my life showing you just how much I love you and how grateful I am that you are my wife. I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of how you handled yourself today. You are my life, every breath I take is for you.”
Tori listened to Trace’s sweet words, and her heart melted. He’d just repeated his marriage vows to her, proving that nothing had changed, in a way that he knew would go straight to her heart and soul. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in the warmth of his neck and repeated her vows to him. “I love you. You are the answer to every prayer I’ve ever whispered about the perfect husband. I don’t know what I did to deserve you…but I’m glad somebody up there was watching when it happened.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
For years, I was accused of living in “Fantasy Land” so I decided to put it to use and started writing. I enjoy creating characters who are loveable but never perfect, who live in and visit all the places I’d love to go, and who overcome obstacles to find the sexy happily ever after I believe we all deserve. I fall in love with the characters I create and enjoy making them each wacky and wonderful in their own way.
The only consistent trait in my heroines is their inability to cook and that is the only trait they each have “inherited” from me. When I’m not working at my very ordinary job, I am either writing or reading. And even though my family professes to support my writing efforts, I’m fairly certain they are merely glad to see I’ve finally found an outlet for what they considered an over-the-top imagination.
