She bit her lip. “Not for me, Logan. Don’t do it for me.”
“It was all for me,” he said quickly. “Once you had shown me the way out.” His smile was warm. “You were right, you know. You had me figured out and Elias couldn’t see it.” He frowned. “Well, he does now.” Then, amazingly, he laughed. It was a carefree sound that warmed Sahara all over again. She found herself smiling at him and realized that Angel was too. Angel tugged on his sleeve once more. “The question!” she demanded.
“All right, all right,” he soothed. He reached out with his free hand and took Sahara’s. “I don’t want to wait for the perfect moment, or the right place to do this. I have to do it now, Sahara, because I’ve waited too long as it is and I think a piece of me would die if I don’t do this now. Will you marry me?”
Sahara could feel the tears starting to build and blur her vision. “Can I throw my arms around you while I say yes?” she whispered.
“Hell, yes,” he growled and rested the cane against the store window and opened his arms up to her. He kissed her thoroughly and long and when she came up for air, she found they had been surrounded by everyone who had been inside the store, now clapping and laughing and celebrating the moment with them.
She looked up at Logan. “Another.”
He kissed her and she could feel her senses fade as she was drawn into the magic of the kiss, until it was just her and Logan.
Until tugging on her arm drew her back to reality. She looked down at Angel, who was tugging on her arm because she could not reach Logan’s.
“Not that question!” Angel said, sounding peeved. “The other question.”
“That question,” Logan said. “Right.” Suddenly he looked awkward and even bashful. He reached for the cane again and leaned on it, looking down at the ground.
“Logan, are you blushing?” Sahara said wonderingly.
“It seems I’m between jobs at the moment,” he said, “and I have a pretty narrow set of work skills and experience….”
“He wants you to give him a job,” Angel finished triumphantly.
Sahara felt a lightheaded laughter shake her. “A job? But summer’s over. You should have applied last spring.”
Logan’s eyes were twinkling with their own laughter.
Sahara took a breath and sobered. “I think, between the two of us, we can arrange a job. We can arrange anything.”
“Anything at all,” he agreed.

Terror Stash – Part of the Romantic Thrillers collection
A stash of terrorists in a tiny town? No one believes her.
American diplomat Montana Dela Vega, posted to laid-back Western Australia, discovers a band of known terrorists hiding deep in the bush. Laughed at by superiors, she must find courage and her own resources to expose the ruthless zealots.
The only people who believe her wild story are Caden Rawn, the mysterious and physically intimidating man with a terrifying reputation, and a bloody history that dogs his every step; and Steve Scarborough, a local police officer with an instinct for the truth and a secret of his own.
Caden and Montana’s private investigation entwines them in tragedy and fear, and teaches them the meaning of friendship...and love. They must face the cost of truth and the courage of their convictions for Montana’s terrorists are very real and very deadly indeed—and they want Montana for themselves....
Terror Stash is now available at your favourite ebook store, and also in print.
