“And the second thing,” Aidan added, “is to sign this contract with the Celtic Goddess so that we can move forward with our new organic menus.” He slid a sheath of papers across the table and handed her a gold pen.
“I’ve already been through them all,” Shane said around a strawberry-and-cheese danish. “And I can tell you the Goddess is being extremely generous. The land, the house, it all remains yours. The Goddess will provide the equipment and the labor.”
“It also names you as a member of the Celtic Goddess Board,” Lexi said excitedly. “Director of the new Organics Division.”
Maggie was at a loss. “I don’t know what to say...”
“Don’t say anything. Just sign it,” Taryn coaxed. With trembling fingers, Maggie did just that.
“Oh, and one more thing,” Ian added mischievously. “You’ve got to promise never to stop making these bear claws.”

Michael and Maggie’s wedding was held a week later. Rather than a big affair, they opted for an intimate evening candlelight service for close family and friends only, followed by a low-key dinner at the Goddess. After everything that had happened, they were all thankful for the quiet affair.
“Maggie.” Spencer Dumas stepped from the shadows while Maggie waited for Michael to bring the car around. “You look absolutely beautiful.”
“Spencer?” she asked with a note of fear in her voice.
Spencer smiled. “Relax, Maggie. I just wanted to wish you the best.”
“Thank you.”
“I’m glad everything worked out for you, Maggie. I really am.” With one last smile, Spencer turned and walked away, back into the shadows.
“Are you okay, love?” Michael asked as he opened up the passenger door of the black Jag for her, saw her looking off to where Spencer had disappeared only seconds earlier. The man always did have an impeccable sense of timing.
Maggie turned to her new husband, snaking her hands up and around his neck. “Everything is perfect, Michael. Absolutely perfect.”

About the Author
Abbie Zanders loves to read and write romance in all forms; she is quite obsessive, really. Her ultimate fantasy is to spend all of her free time doing both, preferably in a secluded mountain cabin overlooking a pristine lake, though a private beach on a lush tropical island works, too. Sharing her work with others of similar mind is a dream come true. She promises her readers two things: no cliffhangers, and there will always be a happy ending. Beyond that, you never know...
