Will caressed her cheek and then slid his hand onto her shoulder, squeezing it. She placed her hand over his hand and smiled. “We wanted to.”
“We hope you like it. Hank said you had something similar but it wasn’t quite right for you,” Leo said and she opened up the box.
Her eyes filled with tears and she covered her mouth to hide the joy, the emotions that filled her. It was a small gold heart covered in diamonds. Real gold and real diamonds, like the fake one she had and wore the night of the dinner, except this was the real thing. It sparkled in the sunlight. The diamonds surrounding the gold heart were gorgeous. She looked up at Hank.
“How did you know?” she asked and then Hank reached out and touched the fake gold heart and diamond pendant she wore right now. She had forgotten she had it on. It was her only piece of jewelry.
Leo reached around and unclipped it from her neck.
Will put on the real one.
“This is the kind of jewelry you deserve. Ones made for a princess, a beautiful, loving woman who has made the three of us happy and complete,” Hank said then kissed her.
She hugged him tight and held onto him as she looked at Will and Leo, who smiled wide and caressed her back.
She took a chance, a dare to forgive and to open up her heart and love again because of these three men. They were a part of her now and always would be. She never knew what love really was until she met Will, Hank, and Leo. Now that she found love, and felt its power and abilities, she would never let them go.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
People seem to be more interested in my name than where I get my ideas for my stories from. So I might as well share the story behind my name with all my readers.
My momma was born and raised in New Orleans. At the age of twenty, she met and fell in love with an Irishman named Patrick Riley Dwyer. Needless to say, the family was a bit taken aback by this as they hoped she would marry a family friend. It was a modern day arranged marriage kind of thing and my momma downright refused.
Being that my momma’s families were descendants of the original English speaking Southerners, they wanted the family blood line to stay pure. They were wealthy and my father’s family was poor.
Despite attempts by my grandpapa to make Patrick leave and destroy the love between them, my parents married. They recently celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversary.
I am one of six children born to Patrick and Lynn Dwyer. I am a combination of both Irish and a true Southern belle. With a name like Dixie Lynn Dwyer it’s no wonder why people are curious about my name.
Just as my parents had a love story of their own, I grew up intrigued by the lifestyles of others. My imagination as well as my need to stray from the straight and narrow made me into the woman I am today.
Enjoy Dare to Forgive and allow your imagination to soar freely.
