EPILOGUE

EAGLE’S REST, AS it turned out, did have minable gold, but the environmental groups rallied together to keep it unmined for the sake of the eagles who roosted there. It was all tied up in the courts, but the courts eventually ruled in favor of turning that land into a protective sanctuary, leaving the town intact and the property taxes reasonable. Jack couldn’t be more pleased. Not everything came down to making money.

Tourists who were eager to catch a glimpse of eagles in the wild came pouring into town, and Liv’s bookstore sold more books on eagles than any other subject matter. She had an entire section dedicated to them. Jack was proud of her. She’d made a thriving business out of Hylton Books, and he was glad that she’d be keeping her last name after she married him. She’d worked too hard to get it back.

Jack went to see his cousin in prison and they had some good long talks about what was possible in the future if Berto got clean and turned his life around.

“I’m not like you,” Berto said. “But I want to be.”

And that was the first step. Berto deserved a chance to set his life right, and Jack was determined to give his cousin all the help he could. He’d be behind bars for a few more months, but then Jack had arranged a job for him working with wounded eagles that were being rehabilitated for the wild. Rehabilitation took time—for humans, too.

As for Tanya, she wasn’t a long-term fling for Evan—especially after his lengthy court case began. Liv didn’t trust her in the same way again, but it was the beginning of a new cousin relationship—built on forgiveness and an understanding of what they both had to lose.

And then one Saturday morning in the winter, Jack put on a black tux and he stood at the front of Deer Lake Church, his heart in his throat. He’d waited for this day most patiently. Liv had needed time, and he understood that. But he’d been true to his word, and when Liv made him that amazing potato salad last spring, he’d pulled out the ring he’d been carrying around and asked her to marry him. It had taken all of a heartbeat for her to say yes.

Now, as he stood in front of the church filled with friends and family on both sides, he shot his mom and dad a misty grin.

This was it—the life he’d dreamed of as a kid. Maybe he didn’t drive quite so nice a car as he’d wanted back then…but the intelligent, thoughtful, amazing wife? Yeah, he’d beaten the mark on that one. And Liv was more gorgeous than he’d ever even dreamed of in his youth.

The organ music swelled, and the doors opened to reveal Liv in a white wedding gown. It was fitted over her hips and then fell to the floor in a foam of lace. He’d never seen a more beautiful vision in his life.
