“Of course, we should. Also, we can create our own little legendary story.”
Maya turned in his arms to look at Vito’s expression. His mischievous smile and the teasing in his voice told her he was definitely up to something.
“What did you have in mind?”
To her delighted surprise, Vito reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. Maya’s breath left her lungs as he flipped it open to reveal a sparkling square-cut diamond set in a band of pink gold.
“Oh, Vito. It’s beautiful.”
“Amore mio,” he began, “would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?”
She felt the sting of happy tears in her eyes as he slipped the ring on her finger then turned her hand and kissed her palm affectionately.
“Yes! I’d be honored to marry you,” Maya managed to blurt out through all the emotion pounding through her heart. Their gondolier turned to give them a whistled cheer.
Vito lifted her chin and brought her face close to his. His lips settled over her own for a long lingering kiss, one that made her blood burn through her veins. Just as she heard the bells of St. Mark’s Cathedral ringing through the air.

A Week with the Best Man
by Ally Blake
CHAPTER ONE
CORMAC WHARTON SAT on the curved boot of his classic car, shoes hooked a half-metre apart on the gleaming bumper, elbows resting on knees, as he watched his dog, Novak, sprint off into the small forest to his right; a streak of sleek caramel fur in search of the stick Cormac had thrown. And had been throwing for the past forty-odd minutes while he waited for the visitor to arrive.
The sound of a car belting along Beach Road beyond the high bougainvillea-drenched walls of the Chadwick estate had him sitting up, listening for a slowing engine.
Alas, it was not to be.
So, Cormac waited. And would continue to wait. For he was best man to his best mate, Grayson Chadwick, and this was wedding-related-waiting, so it was his job to help out on such occasions. Not that he wouldn’t have done so under normal circumstances. It came down to friendship. Loyalty. Respect. Balance. Duty. The pillars upon which Cormac believed a person could build a good and honest life.
Harper Addison—Maid of Honour and The Person Cormac Had Been Waiting Forty Long Minutes For—appeared to have other ideas.
With only days to spare until her sister Lola’s big day, Harper had finally deigned to drag herself onto a plane to join them. She hadn’t condescended to actually let anyone know she was even on her way until she’d landed. Then, refusing to wait for someone to pick her up in Melbourne, she’d hired a car instead to meander down the Great Ocean Road to Blue Moon Bay at her leisure.
Lola claimed she didn’t mind not knowing exactly when her sister would arrive. That she understood how busy her sister was. Cormac knew better. He knew all about keeping the family peace.
