“I love you, Joe. You branded me when you tossed me out of your office.”
His breathing pooled low in his chest. “And I love you, April. Just not enough to hand over a ring . . .”
She tilted her head, waited.
“Without the accompanying champagne and violins.”
“You’re making me wait?”
“I plan on making us both a memory.”
“Plans don’t always work out,” she said, inching closer and putting her hands on his bare chest, kissing where she’d touched.
“So I’m told.” He thought of Riggs’s horoscope, or tried to while April locked her arms around his neck and kissed his throat, under his chin . . .
“I have ways of getting what I want, you know,” she whispered into his ear, her breath warm against his jaw.
“Yeah, you sure do.” He exhaled. “And I’m more than willing for you to try all of them.”
She laughed. “I’ll bet you would. But you still haven’t answered my question. Will you marry me, Joe Worth?”
It was his turn to smile. According to Riggs, there was only one answer to her question—one word that carried the promise of a lifetime and the weight of his heart. He lifted her chin and looked into her eyes to say it.
“Yes.”

Dear Reader:
Thank you for buying and reading KISS TOMORROW GOODBYE, The Bliss Legacy – Book 3. I hope you enjoyed it, and if you did, you'll check out my other e-titles—and maybe leave a review, if you're so inclined.
The Bliss Legacy is a trilogy of stand-alone romantic suspense novels, linked by characters:
KILLING BLISS – The Bliss Legacy, Book 1 is the love story of Addy and Cade. Years ago Addy ran away when she became a suspect in the brutal murder of her foster mother. She’s been living successfully under the radar for years—until Cade finds her, and she decides to risk everything to discover the truth about the night that changed her life forever.
Addy is an unschooled runaway. Cade is a renowned criminology professor
OVER HER DEAD BODY – The Bliss Legacy, Book 2 is the love story of Gus and Keeley. Finally cleared of old murder charges, and no longer forced to live a life he detests, Gus renews his search for his long lost sister and plans a new life, but some dead bodies get in his way—as does falling in love among the gravestones.
Gus is a cool ex gigolo. Keeley is a fiery ex nun.
KISS TOMORROW GOODBYE – The Bliss Legacy, Book 3 is the love story of April and Joe. Sold by her drug-addicted mother and lost to her brother, Gus, since she was a child, April loves and is indebted to the unconventional woman who saved her from a terrible fate—and now that woman has disappeared. The same woman who chose to raise April as her own abandoned her real son Joe as a toddler. So when April asks for his help, he gives it reluctantly. Within days they find themselves caught in a web spun with murder, money, and power.
April is a one-time Vegas showgirl. Joe is a high-level bodyguard.
I also write contemporary romance, and all my books are available online.
