“Crazy is right. Treven made huge promises to people about positions of power. Apparently Bradford was supposed to be the next chief of police.” He scowled.
She smiled, and he laughed. Finally, she was in his arms and Treven was no longer a factor. The nightmare was behind them. Closure felt good. Holding Livvy felt a million times better.
He didn’t want to say it, but he felt he had to. “Livvy, you’re finally free. You can go perform around the world again if you want.” Did he have to say he’d let her go? Probably. “I don’t want to hold you back.”
“Stop.” She put a finger to his lips. “I told you earlier.” She arched up close to him. “You’re all I want, Jensen.” She paused to let those words sink in. His heartbeat was quick and hard. He’d thought he might experience a letdown after Treven was captured and that huge focus of his life was complete, but there was no letdown with Livvy in his arms. He was soaring.
“I’ve performed around the world, and I enjoyed it. I will start taking performances again, but not as often. You can come with me as my protection.”
“That’s a fabulous idea. I have all that vacation time I never take.”
“I also want to do many private performances.” She blinked up at him, enticing and beautiful. “For you.”
“I’d love nothing more.” Jensen’s heart raced. “I do have to admit something to you.”
“What’s that?” She smiled, inviting him to share all his secrets.
“I bought that baby grand piano just hoping you’d play it for me someday.”
“Jensen!” She kissed him and he felt lit up all the way through. They took their time kissing and then she whispered against his lips, “I feel my place is here in Augustine with my family, and with you.” She suddenly looked shy. “If that’s what you want.”
“What I want?” He grinned. “Livvy, you’ve just made every dream I’ve ever had come true.” He kissed her, savoring the connection. That connection would grow with each shared experience. If he had his way, they’d rush ahead to marriage and fill his house with love, laughter, music, and a bunch of children. He’d take it slow for her. He’d do anything for her.
“Livvy …” He studied her. “Would you go out to dinner with me tomorrow night?”
“I’d love to.”
“Livvy … Would you go on a hike with me tomorrow morning?”
“I’d love to.”
“Livvy … Would you spend any spare minute with me from now until you need some space?” He would have to readjust his work schedule and delegate more. Sheryl would be thrilled.
Livvy grinned and arched up toward him. “I’ll never need space from you,” she whispered against his lips.
He returned her kiss, grinning and planning all manner of dates and things he’d always dreamed of doing with her. A personal concert was at the top of the list. They were already doing the best thing.
Tonight, they would kiss the night away. Tomorrow would be soon enough to start his plans. Plans that included Livvy. She was the only essential for him.
Thank you for reading Jensen and Livvy’s story. I hope you loved it. Please read on to finally get the inside scoop on the charming Major Chad Prescott and the woman he cannot forget, Hope Radisson.
Hugs and thanks for all the support,

The Royal Major and the Executive
Chapter One
Hope Radisson paced the patio of her Wengen, Switzerland home high in the Swiss Alps. She and her sister’s vacation home overlooked the verdant and dreamlike Lauterbrunnen Valley, the valley of seventy-two waterfalls, arguably the real home of the Hobbit.
A stiff, chilly wind bit at her cheeks as she listened to Patricia, the manager of her Charlotte, North Carolina Lady Fit gym, explain her staffing issues. Hope didn’t mind the wind. It kept her alert, and this was her favorite spot on earth. Even more so because sometimes the charming Major Chad Prescott of Augustine flew over for a visit when he somehow learned she was here. She suspected her younger sister Faith was the culprit. Faith had probably texted him this morning as the two sisters had gotten settled in for a week of hiking, exploring, and relaxing. This trip was always a welcome break from their demanding workload—and Chad was a very welcome break from her demanding life.
As if her thoughts had conjured him, she heard the unmistakable sound of helicopter rotors. Was it him? Her stomach did a flip-flop of anticipation, even as she told herself to calm down. Chad was a flirt to the millionth degree, and he had no clue that she was completely smitten by him. At least she hoped she’d hidden that truth after he broke her heart several years ago.
She was an ultra-successful American businesswoman; she didn’t need a charming foreign boyfriend. She and her two sisters had created Lady Fit together after their mom ditched them when their dad cheated on her one too many times. Their dad only stayed long enough to make certain then-sixteen-year-old Grace could take care of her younger sisters and knew how to access the bank account.
She and Faith now had stores and fitness centers in most major cities throughout America, but their online business was even more profitable. Hope could have her pick of dates with athletes, entertainers, politicians, or billionaires, but she was too busy and nobody except Chad appealed to her. With Grace in heaven and Faith being the creative mind behind the business, Hope had to take care of all the other aspects.
