Bliss wasn’t sure but she smiled inwardly. Sisters…and children…and, of course, a husband. Mason.
“I’ll go give Brynnie a call. She’ll tell your sisters. Love ya, kid,” her father said, touching her lightly on the shoulder. “Try and forgive a foolish old man for trying to protect his daughter, would you?”
“Sure, Dad,” she said, just thankful to be alive. She wasn’t happy with what he’d done and there were still some issues they had to resolve, but she’d give him another chance because she truly believed that both of her parents had thought they had her best interests at heart. She heard her father leave the room and vowed to work things out. With him. With her half sisters. With Mason’s daughter. Somehow she would make things work.
“So as soon as I get the doctor to spring you from here,” Mason said, interrupting her thoughts and staring down at her with his incredible gold eyes, “I’ll expect you to start making wedding plans.”
“Will you?”
“Unless you want to elope.” His smile was positively and deliciously wicked.
“It doesn’t matter,” she said. “Just as long as you promise to be with me forever.”
“No longer?”
She laughed, and he winked at her.
“It’s a deal, Bliss Cawthorne. You and me. But only until forever.”
“Should we shake on it?” she asked, grinning, her heart so filled with happiness she thought it might burst.
“Shake on it? Hmm.” His eyes twinkled. “We could, but you know, I had something else in mind. Something more…intimate.”
She sighed and rolled her eyes. “You’re trouble, Lafferty. Big trouble.”
“I am,” he agreed. “But only with you, love. Only with you.”

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
Dear Reader,
Welcome to Bittersweet, Oregon. It’s a fictitious town set in the southern part of the state and a beautiful place to visit.
When I first started this project, I envisioned three women, all very independent, all living their lives on their own until they discover they are half sisters, related because a man whose various affairs and marriages brought them into the world. I wanted these women to not only find the love of their lives in the heroes of the books but to come to terms with the fact that they have women siblings with whom they can share both joy and pain. I hoped that my heroines would learn to deal with their father, a selfish, perhaps single-sighted man whom none of them can really trust but a man who loves them all.
In A Family Kind of Guy you met Mason Lafferty and Bliss Cawthorne. The next book is A Family Kind of Gal. Widowed Tiffany Santini is not only struggling to raise two children alone, she must also deal with her sexy, disapproving brother-in-law, J.D. Santini, a man whom she finds attractive but doesn’t believe.
In A Family Kind of Wedding Katie Kinkaid, the third of John Cawthorne’s daughters, has to cope with her often-wed mother finally marrying her father, as well as deal with her sisters. On top of that, she’s determined to set her career in motion, raise her young son and take the world by storm. Unfortunately, a mysterious cowboy named Luke Gates has other plans. Luke is trouble with a capital T but Katie’s not one to back down, not even when her heart and maybe even her life are at risk.
I hope you enjoyed your visit to Bittersweet. Come back again.
Best,
Lisa Jackson
