Hope built inside Ivy, but she didn’t want to get ahead of herself. “Does that mean I should be completely clear of this before the wedding?”
Brian nodded. “Yeah. I’m positive that will be the case.”
Because she didn’t like crying in front of people, Ivy closed her eyes and buried her face in Jack’s chest. He could feel the small sobs wracking her body, though, and he pulled her tighter against him.
“Did you hear that, honey? The wedding is safe. The honeymoon is safe.”
Ivy didn’t respond, and because it was an awkward moment, Max opted to fill the silence.
“I hear you’re going glamping,” he offered. “What sort of sick things did she offer you to get you to agree with that?”
Jack scorched his future brother-in-law with a quelling look and pressed a kiss to the top of Ivy’s head. “She didn’t have to offer me anything. Her happiness is all I need.”
“And?”
“And she promised, if this trip goes bad, I never have to camp again.”
Ivy pulled back, her eyes crinkling at the corners. “I didn’t say that.”
“Yes, you did.”
“No, I didn’t.”
“That’s what I heard.”
“Then we’re going to have to clean your ears out when we get home.”
He chuckled as he tugged her close again, relishing the way her body fit against his. Things didn’t work out as he expected, but happily ever after was right around the corner. They had a wedding to look forward to and a honeymoon to plan.
Life didn’t get much better than that.
Sure, they had drug dealers to wrangle and questions and an investigation to launch on the resort, but the important things were handled. To Jack, there was nothing more important than Ivy.
“We’ll talk about it later,” he reassured.
“Where I’m going to win,” she growled.
“I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.”

About the Author
Amanda M. Lee and Lily Harper Hart
I want to thank everyone who takes the time to read my novels. I have a particular brand of humor that isn’t for everyone – and I know that.
If you liked the book, please take a few minutes and leave a review. An independent author does it all on their own, and the reviews are helpful. I understand that my characters aren’t for everyone, though. There’s a lot of snark and sarcasm in my world – and I know some people don’t like that.
Special thanks go out to Heidi Bitsoli and Phil VanHulle for correcting the (numerous) errors that creep into a work of fiction.
If you’re interested in my future works, follow me on Facebook, Twitter or join my mailing list. I do not believe in spam. I only announce new releases or free promotions.
This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
