  One of his hands pushed between her shoulders, forcing her to lean forward until she had to catch her weight on his knees. Her eyes rolled back in her head as every movement now drove him against that spot inside her that made everything burn.

  “Ride me, princess.”

  She did. Hard, fast, and dirty. When his fingers slipped around to add to the madness, she keened his name as colors flashed behind her closed eyes and all she could feel was him. Distantly, she heard him call her name as his hands gripped her hips with bruising force and he emptied himself inside her.

  He eased her against his chest, her skirt keeping their naked skin hidden. They just lay there, draped around each other for long minutes until their breathing finally returned to normal.

  “You are very definitely a sneaky bastard,” she said when she could finally pull a coherent sentence together.

  “I’m sneaky enough to keep you on your toes for the next fifty years or so.”

  The way he’d just blown her mind? She didn’t doubt it for a second. “Promise me, Eagle, that it will always be you and me, no matter what.”

  “It was always us, princess. Maybe we had to be apart these years, so we could understand how right we are together. We might have never truly appreciated that otherwise. But from here on out, yes. You and me, no matter what.”

  She snuggled closer to him, feeling his strength surround her. She was a fighter, she always would be. And their love was worth fighting for.

  Just like a mom with her kids, I know an author is not supposed to have a personal favorite book… But I’ve got to admit, Eagle is mine. (shhh! Don’t tell!)

  But there are many people that deserve my gratitude for making this a beloved book:

  First and foremost, still and always: my husband, aka Captain Awesome. New seasons in our lives have brought challenges, but we always manage to handle them. I don’t care what the variables are, as long as the constant is us.

  To my kids, now all in high school and one in college. Thank you for sharing me with the voices in my head.

  Again, my undying gratitude to my tribe: Marci, Girl Tyler, Anu, Stephanie, Regan, Nichole, Julie, Beth, Lissanne, Elizabeth. Every time you spot something I missed, or encourage me about something you liked, or just bully me to get one more page written…you’re a blessing.

  To my editors and alpha readers: Elizabeth Nover, Jennifer at Mistress Editing, Marci Mathers, Elizabeth Neal, Stephanie Scott, and Aly Birkl. Thank you for your patience, consistency and hard work. I depend on you so much and you never let me down.

  And to my readers, especially the Crouch Crew: THANK YOU. Thank you for your emails, your messages, and your support. It means everything. I promise I will always endeavor to write the stories that keep you enthralled from page one. Life’s too short for boring books!

  With love and appreciation,

  Janie Crouch
