because I thought you deserved to be free.”
“Oh, Reed. Being without you is not a kind of freedom I’d ever want.”
“Good. Because I am going to fight for you, Cass. I’m going to fight for us.” He gathered her even closer, if that was possible. “I love you, sweetheart. I’ll do anything to make this work. I’m going to move here.”
Cassie drew back to stare at him. “You’ve always lived in Sydney. That and being a cop is what you know.”
“Living here and being a kick-ass sailor is all you knew four years ago, but you married me anyway. You changed your life for me.” He touched her face, his eyes earnest, his pledge sincere. “It’s my turn.”
“Really?” Cassie rasped.
Reed nodded. “There are jobs here—in the police force even. I’m going to get one so you can have all this.” He looked around to indicate the perfect still waters of the marina and the endless, clear-blue sky. Then he looked back at her and grinned. “And you can have me too.”
Cassie smiled. “That sounds like a dream.”
“It doesn’t have to be. It can be real. So…will you?”
“Will I agree to let you move here?”
“Agree to let me.” Reed laughed and rolled his eyes. “Who wears the pants in this relationship?”
Cassie arched a brow. “I figure we both do.”
“Well, maybe.” Reed conceded with a grin. “But I’m moving here, sweetheart. I’ve made up my mind on that. All I want to know from you is…” To Cassie’s surprise and delight, Reed got down on one knee before her, took one of her hands in his and held her gaze. His blue eyes were filled with love, such love Cassie had to cover her mouth with her hand to stop from gushing. “Will you stay married to me, Mrs Dalton?”
Cassie gave up on stifling her urge to gush. She was so full of joy and excitement it simply had to come out. She leaned down and started covering Reed’s face with kisses, giggling and crying. “Yes!” she said. “Absolutely, yes.”

Moonlight Mirage
Bandicoot Cove: The Wedding, Book Three
A new lover, an old flame, sultry moonlit nights. Why let inhibitions stand in the way?
Two years ago, Hayley Bryant left Australia on a round-the-world odyssey that changed her life, and her attitude. After that, coming face to face with the man whose rejection sent her packing shouldn’t affect her at all, right?
Except there’s one thing that hasn’t changed—her former boss Mitchell Wood makes her burn as hot as ever. The difference is, Hayley’s now a grown woman who knows how to get what she wants, and she wants Mitch. Trouble is, she hasn’t come to her friend’s wedding alone. Her very sexy friend with benefits, Ty Butler, might pose a problem.
Business was always Mitch’s first love… at least until he hired his little sister’s friend as an intern. Pushing her away was the right thing to do, but now his sister’s wedding has Hayley re-entering his life—and the empty place in his heart. Soon he’s acting less like the consummate workaholic and more like a man crazy in love. But Hayley’s “plus one” is an unexpected obstacle.
Fortunately, Mitch has never been one to shy away from a little competition…
Warning: Bilby Island’s sensual spell strikes again. Book contains hot lovin’ made in beautiful tropical surrounds, some exhibitionism, voyeurism and bondage. Best read with a margarita in hand and the fan switched to ‘high’.
