EPILOGUE

POSITIONED near the fireplace, trying not to grin like a sap, Brax stared out at the room at large. He enjoyed seeing the family dynamics at play in front of him. To announce his and Cameo’s impending nuptials, they’d invited everyone over. In six months, she’d be his wife. He was anxious to have her tied to him legally, but to give her the wedding she wanted, he could show some patience.

His brother-in-law, Wyatt, hovered over Mercedes, still worrying about her even though she’d gotten through the food poisoning and was now radiant with her pregnancy. Every couple of minutes Wyatt kissed her, and he continually touched her swelling belly in a protective gesture. He’d be a great dad. He was already a terrific husband. And as a brother-in-law, Brax couldn’t be more pleased.

Mercy hovered over Amos, thrilled to get to know one of her uncles better. Amos had at first chosen to stay around just in case any problems arose with the police over Belle and Bradley’s deaths. After their story was accepted, Brax talked him into extending the visit for his engagement announcement.

It was still a little startling to see Amos circulating with polite society. Wyatt was rightfully wary of him, and Mercy was fascinated by him. For his part, Amos didn’t quite know how to deal with either of them—though he had no problems relating to Cameo.

Already the two of them had formed a very special bond.

Brax liked having Amos around, finding assurance that he wasn’t yet a lost cause.

And Cameo . . . well, she amazed him more each day. Flitting from one relative to another, serving drinks and hors d’oeuvres, she made a beautiful hostess. He couldn’t look at her without wanting her, but he did his best to temper his need when in polite company.

After her ordeal she’d had several sleepless nights, and though more than two weeks had passed, faint bruises remained on her delicate body. Brax still trembled whenever he thought of how close he’d come to losing her.

To help her put it in the past, Brax had seen to the removal of all reminders. It had cost him extra for the rush job, but his office was not only repaired but remodeled. All smoke damage had been removed from inside his home, and damage to the lawn and landscaping caused by Bradley’s fallen body had been spruced back up. Now, only the horrible memories remained, but Cameo was strong, one of the strongest people he’d ever met.

As if she knew his thoughts, she set aside the tray and came to him with a knowing smile. Brax straightened from his relaxed posture against the mantel. The love in her eyes never failed to set his heart racing.

When she reached him, she straightened the collar of his polo shirt, smoothed her hand over his chest, and then went on tiptoes to kiss him. “You’re showing remarkable restraint, Brax.”

He curved his hand around her waist and growled low, “You have no idea.”

“I love you, so yes, I have all kinds of ideas.
