“What did he say to you before I got here?”
“He said that he’d come to realize that the most important thing in life is a united and healthy family. Then he apologized for last year and shook my hand.”
“He must be on Prozac or something.”
“It doesn’t matter. Let’s just be grateful he’s had an epiphany. Come on, Kit,” Jody said. “Nikki’s about to throw her bouquet.”
We stood at the back of the crowd and since I towered over everyone, I caught the flowers that were intended for one of the bridesmaids. The crowd hooted and hollered, teasing us with a chanting “Kiss, kiss, kiss!” I looked down at Jody, brushed my lips against his, and declared, “Next year, it’ll be our turn.”
He smiled and the dimple I never tired of showed up right on cue. “You got it, big guy.”

About the Author
MICKIE B. ASHLING is the alter ego of a multifaceted woman raised by a single mother who preferred reading over other forms of entertainment. She found a kindred spirit in her oldest child and encouraged her with a steady supply of dog-eared paperbacks. Romance was the preferred genre, and historical romances topped her favorites list.
By the time Mickie discovered her own talent for writing, real life had intruded, and the business of earning a living and raising four sons took priority. With the advent of e-publishing and the inevitable emptying nest, dreams were resurrected and the storyteller was reborn.
She stumbled into the world of men who love men in 2002 and continues to draw inspiration from their ongoing struggle to find equality and happiness in this oftentimes skewed and intolerant world. Her award-winning novels have been called “gut-wrenching, daring, and thought-provoking.” She admits to being an angst queen and making her men work damn hard for their happy endings.
Mickie loves to travel and has lived in the Philippines, Spain, and the Middle East but currently resides in a suburb outside Chicago.
