up in his arms, and carried into the cabin. She sighed with pleasure and nuzzled his neck. There was no questioning it; she was his.
Epilogue
They were sitting in a private VIP booth at Come Again. Alexandra rolled her eyes at her gloating cousin.
“Come on, let’s see the rock again.” Nina took pleasure in teasing Alex.
“Oh, cut it out, will you? I swear I don’t know which of you is worse. Now that he’s got a ring on me, he acts as though he won the lottery.” She held out her hand anyway, grinning like a fool.
He’d proposed, gotten down on his knees, and put on the ring. She hasn’t had the heart to tell him he’d done it backward. Once she accepted his proposal, his satisfied smile had been endearing.
“He did win a prize with you, chica . Don’t ever doubt it. Where is that fiancé of yours, anyway?” Nina glanced around the crowded bar.
“He’ll be here in a minute.” The man in question was in his office talking business with his partner.
“I told you I had a good feeling about him. Just remember, I’m totally going to be a fantastic godmother, OK?”
She laughed. “We’re not even married yet, and you’re giving us kids already?”
Nina winked. “I have this feeling about you.”
“Don’t even joke like that. I’m not walking down the aisle looking like a beached whale.”
Nina laughed at the panic Alex showed in her face.
“You are too funny, Alex. But seriously, start picking out baby names.” Laughing, she walked away toward a group of friends across the bar.
Looking down at her seltzer water, Alex felt her stomach roll again. It was a stomach virus, she told herself. She wasn’t pregnant, was she?
She nibbled her lip and took another drink. Just to play it safe, she’d better talk to Andrew about moving up the wedding date.
Across the bar she saw the only man she’d ever peeped on searching for her. Their gazes met and held, and happiness filled her. He headed toward her with a growing smile. She never would have guessed that Mr. Buff would turn out to be her Mr. Right.

Phoenix Rising
by Kaitlin Maitland
With sex hot enough to burst into flames, what will rise from the ashes?
Jessa Kincaid is done with men. After nineteen years, her cheating executive husband has left her for his younger, sexually adventurous mistress, and Jessa can't even seem to care. She's been stuffing herself into the mold of the perfect wife for so long, she can't even remember who she is. Feeling adrift, she finds herself inside a downtown bar in the middle of the afternoon, pounding black and tans like a college kid--had she ever been a college kid?--and letting herself wonder what it would be like to be the kind of woman who went to bars like Phoenix Rising. Or slept with that amazing bad-boy bartender who looked like he could break her in half...or maybe even make her feel...
Connor Archuleta is done with women. His last relationship ended in betrayal, broken bones, and jail time. But when the shrinking wallflower enters his bar, he can't tear his gaze away. He can practically smell her sexual repression, but intrigued, he makes it his mission to teach her everything he knows about embracing the wilder side of sex. It doesn't take
