Redeemed (Dirty Air Series Book 4)
Page 36
“Sorry. Look!” I place his hands against the spot that was active not a minute before.
“Am I supposed to rub your belly and make a wish?”
I narrow my eyes at him. “Asshole. Just wait.”
It doesn’t take more than a minute for our little guy to return with a vengeance.
“Ay Dios,” Santiago whispers under his breath. “Is that what I think it is?”
“He’s happy Daddy won the Championship!”
Santiago keeps his hands on my stomach as he leans down and captures my lips with his. He deepens the kiss, stroking his tongue against mine. People clapping forces us apart.
His eyes glitter with happiness. “I won more than a Championship. I won a woman who makes me appreciate every day how lucky I am to have survived that crash in the first place. Because I couldn’t imagine never meeting the one person who completes me. I never believed in soulmates before you, but I’ll be damned if you didn’t make me a dreamer with your wishes and wildflowers and smile that could make any bad day instantly better.”
My hormones take over, and the tears make an encore appearance.
“I love you.”
There’s no doubt in my mind that I love this fearless man with everything in me. The man who taught me love isn’t something to be feared but revered. The very one who spends every single day of his life showing me how much he loves me—with his words, with his actions, with every breath he takes to support our family.
I’ll love Santiago Alatorre for as long as the wildflowers keep growing in beautiful chaos.
THE END

Acknowledgments
To all the readers who fell in love with Santiago—Thank you for loving Santiago as much as you have. He was originally set to be a side character but your push for his story drove me to create this new world.
To my ride or die—It might seem silly to thank someone for believing in me, but I can’t go without speaking the truth. Your constant support has kept me going on the hardest days. And thanks for letting me bounce plots off you. My books wouldn’t be the same without you telling me how evil I am for the things I do to my characters.
To Julie, the best kind of friend and PR badass—I offer my endless thanks for all you do. You not only organize my life, but you’re the best kind of friend (and plot buddy)! I couldn’t do this without you, and while this is the end of a series (and era), I can’t wait to explore the future with you.
To my editor, Erica—Thanks for always being the best of the best! There’s no one else I would want by my side to help my characters and stories come to life.
To Mary at Books and Moods—Thank you for convincing me to change my cover a year ago. I never thought I would make such a great friend out of this experience, and I appreciate all you do! Seriously, graphics, formatting, covers. You are unstoppable!
To my teams—I appreciate every single thing you share related to my books. You all hold such a special place in my heart, and I am thankful for all your kind words. I only hope to create another world you fall in love with soon.
To Emilia—I am beyond thankful for your unwavering support and love for this series. Thank you for believing in my dream, and I only hope to keep creating characters and worlds you want to be a part of.
To Billy Monger—You are an incredible role model to so many individuals. Your perseverance to compete in racing despite your crash is inspirational, and I only wanted to create a character with as much heart and drive as you.
To my dog, Theodore—You really shouldn’t have made me angry on the day I was writing that extended epilogue LOL. Now you’ll be remembered as the guy everyone wants to hate.
