“I found the ring that is supposed to be on your finger. Will you put it on and never take it off?”
I popped open the box as my eyes welled up. A single round diamond sparkled in front of me. “Melanie? What do you think about double weddings? Want to plan one together?”
“Abso-effing-lutely,” she stated, her own eyes shining with unshed tears, “but you’ll need to find your own honeymoon.”
“No problem there.” I sniffed and pulled Garrett to me for a long kiss. “I’m thinking Ireland. I have a hankering to see where your family started.”

Acknowledgments
Garrett’s story was inspired by a friend of mine who was involved in a bad relationship. Some would call it toxic. The situation was very similar in that he would get lovey-dovey gushing texts, followed by I-hate-you curses. He finally broke free and found someone who treats him much better.
I think we all go through that rite of passage when we are single and looking for a partner. Some couples will stagnate, some will turn poisonous, and others will survive and grow into something special. I hope anyone who happens to be looking will find the person meant to fill that role.
I couldn’t have written this book without the fantastic team of editors and beta readers at Hot Tree Publishing: Becky Johnson, Olivia Ventura, McKinley Hellenes Krantz, Alicia Woods, Andrea Robinson, Barbara Hoover, and the first person I call when I have a new book and need either a boost or an opinion, Brittany Alexander. I thank everyone for their continuing support of me and the belief I can do this author thing. You ladies rock!
