“Marry me, Sam. Give me the life I’ve always dreamed of having with you. The day after the wedding, we can start working on our secret list of dreams. First we’ll hike the Grand Canyon.”
My lips parted slightly.
“And afterwards we’ll hop a flight to Paris.”
“Are-are you sure?” This was too good to be true. It had to be.
“Returning to Raven’s Run reminded me of the life I’ve always wanted for myself. I want a home. I want a family. I want you.” He pulled me into his arms and held me tight. “I’m not afraid anymore. No more running. Stay with me Sam. I’ll give your mother that house she wants. Perhaps it can be on the lake instead of the beach? It’d be closer to us. Marry me. Let me show you how much I love you.”
“Yes,” I whispered. “Yes. A thousand times yes.”

About the Author
Mystery author Dorothy St. James was born in New York but raised in South Carolina. She makes her home in South Carolina. Though writing has always been a passion for her, she pursued an undergraduate degree in Wildlife Biology and a graduate degree in Public Administration and Urban Planning. She put her educational experience to use, having worked in all branches and all levels of government including local, regional, state, and federal. She even spent time during college working for a non-profit environmental watchdog organization.
Switching from government service and community planning to fiction writing wasn't as big of a change as some might think. Her government work was all about the stories of the people and the places where they live. As an urban planner, Dorothy loved telling the stories of the people she met. And from that, her desire to tell the tales that were so alive in her heart grew until she could not ignore it any longer. In 2001, she took a leap of faith and pursued her dream of writing fiction full-time.
*Dorothy also writes romance as Dorothy McFalls.
