Janie kicked off her shoes and slid into Matt’s arms. “I’ll sleep well tonight,” she sighed.
“You most certainly will,” he chuckled as he pulled her close and kissed her with a kiss that curled her toes.

Adam and Shelby returned to the Lathem estate in the Bahamas for their honeymoon. The first night was spent in the pool house, a quiet night, full of firsts as husband and wife, just as it had been a few months earlier.
“I love you, Mrs. Anderson,” he whispered in her ear.
“Mmm. I like the sound of that, Mr. Anderson,” she smiled.
“Me, too. But no more talking,” he said and kissed her.

The delivery driver took the clipboard from Maureen’s hands once she’d signed it and handed her the large package. Already knowing what it was, she excitedly returned to the living room and yelled for Peter to join her as she unwrapped the picture from the brown paper.
Sitting beside each other, they looked at the beautifully framed photograph in front of them. It was the latest family picture, taken just a few weeks earlier at Adam and Shelby’s wedding. Their entire family was there; seven sons, six daughters-in-law, one son-in-law and seventeen grandchildren. Since the photo had been taken, Beth had given birth to the triplets, who were now home after spending two weeks in the NICU, bringing the total of grandchildren to twenty.
Peter chuckled. “We made a fine looking family.”
“Didn’t we?” Maureen agreed with a big smile. “We’re very blessed.”
“Yes…we are.”

About the Author
AJ Harmon was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia. She currently resides in Oregon, USA, with her husband Brad. They have two grown children, her pride and joy, and a dog named Max.
An avid reader of the Romance genre, the books in her personal library range from historical to erotica and everything in between. “I love reading a sweet romance set in the English Regency period where men were gentlemen and the women pretended to be naïve. But sometimes you just need a hot sexy romance to cap off a long week,” she smiled. The bookshelves in her home are filled with a variety of authors and she is humbled to now be among their ranks.
AJ is a new author, finding her passion in writing after her children had left home, leaving her and her husband empty-nesters. She says the ‘First Class’ series has been a pleasure for her to write and has been absolutely delightful that readers have received them with such a warm embrace. “It will be hard to say goodbye to the Lathems,” she said. “They have become a huge part of my life and I consider them my family.” The series has nine volumes in total and AJ considers it to be one of her greatest achievements. “This series has changed my life and the readers have brought me more love and joy than I ever hoped for. My life is a fairytale.”
AJ is excited to begin work on her next project, a new series coming in 2014.
