As long as they were together.

He held her gaze and slowly dropped to one knee.

“Cale?”

He opened the box in his hand. Before he’d left D.C., he’d picked up one very special item. He opened the box.

A diamond wasn’t nestled inside.

An emerald was. One that reminded him perfectly of her eyes.

Those eyes were very wide right then.

“Cassidy Sherridan, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?”

She just stared at him.

Oh, hell. He should have gone with the diamond. Getting the emerald had been a bad idea. It was just—

She yanked him to his feet. Kissed him hard and deep and wild. He could taste her love and her passion and all the sweetness that was his Cassidy.

“Yes,” she whispered against his lips. “Yes!” That time, she shouted her answer.

And he laughed and held her tighter.

Sometimes, dreams did come true—even the broken dreams of an ex-mercenary.

“Like I was going to let you get away,” Cassidy whispered, giving a small shake of her head. “Not happening.” Then she sobered as she stared at him. “It’s not every day that a man is willing to die for me.”

And it wasn’t every day that he was given something special to live for—someone special.

His Cassidy.

“I hope the wedding’s soon,” she told him, and a wicked glint had entered her eyes.

“Sweetheart, it will be as soon as you want.”

He was ready for their forever to start—a lifetime of love and happiness. No more fears.

And no more nightmares for Cassidy.

He’d make sure the rest of her days were as good as this one.

He kissed her again and knew that life couldn’t get any better.
