“Surprise!”
The light flips on and every one of the Walker clan, an extended clan I’ve met at some point in person, or by Skype, are in a vacant retail store. There’s at least twenty people. Not only are they here, but so are all the mannequins from the Alvarez store sitting around the room, with my designs on them. I turn to Kyle. “What is happening?”
“I bought the store for you,” he says. “And Barbara wants to come and work for you if you want her. I didn’t promise her anything. We can plan a launch and-”
I push to my toes and kiss him, while the room erupts in cheers. “You are amazing, Kyle. So good to me.”
“Does that mean you’ll marry me?”
“What?”
He goes down on one knee and presents me with a box he opens. It contains the most stunning oval-shaped diamond I’ve ever seen. “Marry me, Myla.”
“Yes,” I say. “Yes.”
He slips the ring on my finger and stands, his hands cupping my cheeks, his lips finding mine as the room once again erupts in cheers. “I love you, Myla.”
“I love you too,” I whisper.
“I’m going to interrupt,” Royce calls out.
“Because why wouldn’t you fucking interrupt,” Blake adds. “That’s what family is for.”
Kyle and I laugh and he slides his arm over my shoulder, turning me toward the room. Royce is standing directly across from us with his wife Lauren, a pretty petite brunette, next to him. “Some of you know that Lauren and I tried to start a family last year,” he says, “and it didn’t go as well as we’d hoped. We waited a while to try again. And we didn’t want to say anything until we were sure it was going to work out this time.”
“We’re four months pregnant!” Lauren shouts.
More cheers erupt and before I know it, I’m being hugged left and right, but of course, Kara is the first, with Blake following. Asher and Jacob, are here too, and even more Walker Security men are present.
“I love fashion,” Julie, Luke’s wife, tells me, when we finally get some time to chat. “I’d love to help you launch the store. If you don’t mind?”
“I’d love help,” I say.
“Can you design baby clothes?” Lauren asks, joining us.
“I would love to design for the first little Walker baby,” I say.
“And we can help with the wedding,” Julie offers.
Kyle steps to my side and takes my hand. “I’m stealing my future wife,” he says, leading me to a private office, shutting the door and pulling me close. “How do you feel?”
“Happy,” I say. “When I never thought I’d be happy again.”

He is dark passion and sweet obsession…Her journal. My darkest desires. I was looking for her and I found him.
A journal comes to Sara McMillan by chance, when she unexpectedly inherits the key to an abandoned storage locker belonging to a woman named Rebecca. Sara can’t resist peeking at the entries inside…and finds a scintillating account of Rebecca’s affair with an unnamed lover, a relationship drenched in ecstasy and wrapped in dark secrets.
Obsessed with discovering Rebecca’s destiny after the entries come to an abrupt end, Sara does more than observe the players in the woman’s life; she immerses herself in the high-stakes art gallery world Rebecca inhabited—and is magnetically drawn to two men. Both will want to possess her but only one – the dark, mysteriously sexy, Chris Merit, will win her heart. But where is Rebecca? And is Sara trusting the wrong man?
