Penny tips her head back so she can look me in the eye. “Nah. But we could swap the rooms.”
We both burst out laughing.
Although I quelled most of the trouble at the Bachelor Tower, Penny’s sister can ruffle feathers as fast as I can smooth them. I wouldn’t feel right about leaving her on her own yet.
My life has become complicated and messy, but I wouldn’t trade a moment of it. I pick Penny up, toss her over my shoulder and carry her to our home office.
She pulls back the waistband of my pants and gives my ass a loud slap.
And it’s better than my fantasy—it’s my forever.

About the Author
Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in southern Massachusetts. She spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York—then came full circle and moved back to New England. She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the warmer weather and international scene.
She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love– writing and has never been happier. When she’s not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm, riding her horses, or connecting with her readers online.
