“No, only the men our sisters fall in love with get nicknames,” Quinn said. “It’s a tradition.”
“Yeah, one you guys made up when I fell in love with Bax, calling him Penguin,” Kyleigh groused. “Just because he wore a tux to Rhy and Devon’s wedding.”
“Ah, but did you know that penguins can swim at speeds of ten miles per hour?” Bax asked. “They are truly remarkable flightless aquatic birds.”
“You sound like an encyclopedia,” Sami complained. “I’m glad I didn’t get a nickname.”
Reed puffed out his chest. “Just call me Clark. Clark Kent. A.k.a. Superman.” He smirked. “That’s better than Gonzo and Penguin.” He lifted his arms to the ceiling in a touchdown formation. “I win!”
“Oh, for Pete’s sake,” Elly muttered, rolling her eyes. “I’m sorry, Joe.”
“I’m not.” Joe kissed her. “I love you, Elly. Thanks for making me the happiest man on earth.”
“I love you so much,” she whispered. “Kiss me again.”
He laughed and kissed her again. Then he turned to face her family. “Did any of you hear the story about how Elly brought a stray dog home that turned out to be a coyote pup? She hid it from Rhy for three days before he found out.”
“No way,” Paige exclaimed. “That’s scary!”
“You have no idea,” Rhy said on a sigh. “Especially since the little bugger bit her. I was worried she’d get rabies from that thing.”
The rest of her siblings brought up other stories until the entire group was laughing so hard they were crying.
Elly couldn’t complain since they were true. And she didn’t really mind. All that mattered was that they were here together on this beautiful Christmas Day.
And that God had blessed her with a wonderful man who was a perfect fit with the Finnegan family.

STEELE
Chapter One
Harper Crane huddled in her winter coat as she hurried along the snowy sidewalk. She absolutely hated parking in downtown Milwaukee, especially in January, but it couldn’t be helped. Her role as a legal assistant to Gibson and Roberts law offices meant showing up at the high-rise building four days a week. Her boss, Trent Gibson, let her work from home every Friday, unless he had depositions scheduled in one of the conference rooms.
Shivering, she increased her pace. The surface parking lot she used charged ten bucks a day. The structures were more than twice that amount, so she ducked her head against the wind and pushed forward. The office building was only five blocks away.
She was so busy watching her feet to make sure she didn’t slip and fall she didn’t pay much attention to the vehicle coming up beside her. Even when it idled in the road, she didn’t think much about it. When the back passenger door opened and a man stepped out, her instincts finally kicked in.
Danger!
A hard hand grabbed her arm. No! She tried to tug out of his grip, her stupid office flats slipping on the icy pavement.
She opened her mouth to scream, but he ruthlessly clamped his other hand over his mouth and began dragging her toward the car.
