“Brady.” I’m trembling from head to toe.
“I love you, Katherine. More than I ever thought was possible to love someone. Say yes. Be my wife. Be Izzy’s mom. Let us love you forever.”
I don’t even have to think about my answer.
I'm nodding as Izzy and I go crashing into him. He catches us with a grunt and a laugh, barely keeping us upright when the baby and I squish him in a hug.
Hands reach down, and I realize Tori is scooping up Izzy. She gives me a wink and steps back with the baby in her arms.
My eyes cut back to Brady. “Yes, yes!” I laugh before kissing him again. In front of everyone.
Yes, I kiss him shamelessly. Because I love this man, and I want everyone to know it.
Our families start clapping behind us, and then finally my sister yells, “Get a room for the porno. I’m hungry.”
My fiancé laughs, and we stand up and hug our parents. My heart swells as I take a mental snapshot of our big, loud Texas family.
I don’t know how this all happened. I don’t know what I did to deserve such an amazing man or such a wonderful family. But if Cal and Mel taught me anything, it was to cherish every moment I have with them.
And I plan to. Each and every day for the rest of my life.

Finding Dandelion Synopsis
When soccer all-star Jax Avery collides with Dani Hart on his twenty-first birthday, their connection is instantaneous and explosive. For the first time in years, Jax isn’t interested in his usual hit-it and quit-it approach.
But Dani knows better. Allowing herself a night to be carefree and feel the intensity of their attraction won’t change anything when it comes to dealing with a player. So when Jax doesn’t recognize Dani the next time he sees her, it shouldn’t be a total shock. The fact that he’s her new roommate's brother? That’s a shock.
Dani doesn’t regret that night with Jax, just the need to lie about it. Since her roommate has made it clear what she thinks about her brother’s “type” of girl, the last thing Dani wants is to admit what happened.
Jax knows he’s walking a fine line on the soccer team. One more misstep and he’s off the roster, his plans to go pro be damned. Except he can’t seem to care. About anything… except for the one girl who keeps invading his dreams.
Despite Jax’s fuzzy memory of his hot hookup with his sister’s friend, he can’t stay away from her, even if that means breaking his own rules. But there are bigger forces at work–realities that can end Dani’s college career and lies that can tear them apart.
Jax realizes what he’s losing if Dani walks away, but will he sacrifice his future to be with her? And will she let him if he does?
Finding Dandelion, the second book in the Dearest series, can be read a standalone novel. This new adult romance is recommended for readers 18+ due to mature content.
Purchase Finding Dandelion on AMAZON or read it in The Dearest Series Boxed Set, which is FREE on Amazon KU for a limited time.
Finding Dandelion Excerpt
Prologue
- DANI -
Goosebumps line my skin as Travis threads his fingers through mine. Closing my eyes, I brace myself.
“You sure you want to do this, Dani?” He sounds nervous even though he’s the one who sold me on the idea in the first place. “It’s going to hurt. A lot.”
Brady laughs. “Man, don’t scare her.”
Brady is hot, all ridges and taut muscles and menacing tattoos, and I know he’s staring down at my naked back right now. He’s so out of my league.
Of course this is the only way I’d get a guy like that to touch me.
Swallowing, I nod and clutch my shirt to my chest. “Let’s do this. I’m not chickening out.”
I’ve done my homework, researched optimal positioning, pain, methods, everything. Now I just have to take the plunge. This is going to be my year of firsts.
“That a girl. I promise I’ll be gentle.” Brady moves away from me, and the buzzing starts and stops.
Travis’s grip tightens as he leans down and whispers, “If your mother knew you were doing this, she’d kill me.”
I yank my hand from his and swat my best friend. “What’s the matter with you? Now is not the time to talk about my mother.”
A black gloved hand runs across my shoulder as Brady lowers the strap on my lacy, black bra. Hell, yes, I wore my sexy underwear.
He lowers his voice. “This is going to be cold.”
