TY’S ENTIRE FAMILY had shown up for breakfast, giving Aiyla a chance to meet each of his siblings and to get to know their significant others. Cole and Nate were more serious than Ty and Sam, who horsed around endlessly. And Tempest, like Cherise, seemed like a careful, watchful older sister. Aiyla was also learning just how small the quaint seaside town was. Faith, Sam’s fiancée, worked as a physician assistant in Cole’s office. Both she and Cole had taken the day off to spend it with the family, preparing for the wedding. Nate’s wife, Jewel, had three younger siblings, and her brother worked for Sam at his rafting company. Peaceful Harbor was bigger than her hometown, but it seemed to be closely knit, and she found that—and the open affection of his siblings—comforting. She’d noticed around the breakfast table that someone was always brushing the hand of their significant other, stealing a quick kiss, or passing a furtive glance. She’d been on her own for so long, she wondered what it would be like to be part of such a big, loving family. And this afternoon she got a good dose of just how wonderful it could be.

After shopping for most of the morning, Aiyla, Maisy, and the girls had lunch at a café. They decided to take advantage of the gorgeous sunny day and walk three blocks to the nail salon. Aiyla enjoyed getting to know everyone. They acted more like sisters than sisters-in-law, daughters-in-law, and friends. She wished Cherise could meet them. She’d get along well with everyone, and she’d probably love to talk about her boys, Danny, who was four, and David, who was two, with Leesa, who doted endlessly on little Avery, and Tempest, who gushed about Phillip.

“I can’t believe I’m getting married tomorrow,” Tempest said excitedly for the millionth time since they’d met. She brushed her hand over her cute summer skirt and said, “And my wedding dress?”

Shannon clasped her hands beneath her chin, fluttered her lashes up toward the sky, and said, “‘It’s stunning, dreamy, and romantic!’”

Tempest rolled her eyes. “Excuse me for being excited. You just wait. When you and Steve get married you’ll do the same thing—and I’ll tease you just as much.”

Ty had told Aiyla that Tempest was like the wind. She can calm you down or stir you up with the same easy demeanor, and she writes songs that’ll melt your soul. It was easy to understand why he saw her that way. She was thoughtful and easygoing, but she was no pushover.

Shannon draped an arm over Tempest’s shoulder. “I look forward to it. Besides, I don’t blame you. Jilly and Jax made the perfect dress for you.”

Maisy explained that Jillian and Jax were their twin cousins who lived in the next town over, Pleasant Hill. They were dressmakers and each owned their own business, though Jax’s specialty was wedding dresses, and Jillian tended to make dresses for every occasion.

“Ty mentioned his cousin Beau, and I met Ty’s friend Trixie, who said she worked with another one of his cousins,” Aiyla said.
