    Author

    Kris Bryant

    Kris Bryant grew up a military brat living in several different countries before her family settled down in the Midwest when she was twelve. Books were her only form of entertainment overseas, and she read anything and everything within her reach. Reading eventually turned into writing when she decided she didn’t like the way some of the novels ended and wanted to give the characters she fell in love with the ending she thought they so deserved. Earning a B.A. in English from the University of Missouri, Kris focused more on poetry, and after some encouragement from her girlfriend, decided to tackle her own book.

    Acknowledgments

    I’m always and forever thankful to Radclyffe and Sandy Lowe for giving me the opportunity to tell my stories. Bold Strokes Books has a fantastic crew, and everybody is instrumental in making this work. My literary journey is full of love and fantastic friendships, and I am blessed to have found so many like souls in this world. My editor, Ashley (who has a zillion nicknames by now) is a large part of my success. Without her, I would not have the confidence that I do to keep at it. Thank you to Deb for always encouraging me and for being my crutch. And where would I be without KB Draper’s writing tips of adding aliens to my stories when I get stuck? With every book, I get stronger and I learn from all of my literary sisters. Thank you, Cindy Rizzo, for your guidance and skill. I love your honesty and your valuable input. All of my friends, Z, KC, MJ, HB, Laydin, and so many others who give me advice and are forever in my heart. Thank you, Nadine, for all that you do for me and for all writers. You are great in helping us get our stories out there to the readers. I am a fortunate woman. I have love, success, and happiness every day of my life.

    Dedication

    To my sister, Patty, whose own triumph of finding her true love is the inspiration behind this novella.

    Chapter One

    Are you sure you want to get something this bright and shiny for her? Stacy and I are ring shopping. I’m trying to find something I think my girlfriend will love and she’s there to talk me out of anything obnoxious I might try to buy. I want this to be the perfect ring. I want this to be the perfect everything. Amber has been my crutch through good and bad times and emotionally supported me during years of struggling to climb the network ladder. She deserves the best marriage proposal ever. She has the biggest heart and the sweetest disposition out of anybody in my world. I can’t imagine my forever without her by my side.

    I don’t think it’s too shiny, I say. I hold it on my finger and then up to the light. It’s a one and a half carat princess cut. Platinum because I know she doesn’t like gold. It is kind of big, but not too big. At least it screams ‘I’m taken’ to anybody who approaches her.

    Amber is beautiful and every day I wonder why she is with me. Five foot seven with blue eyes and long honey colored hair. She’s a paralegal for a law firm in the city and gets hit on almost every day. We met downtown four years ago. I was working a story on the safety of construction sites in high traffic areas and literally walked into her while reporting the story. I plowed her down like a linebacker going after the quarterback. After I helped her up, I asked her to have coffee with me, my way of apologizing. She agreed. I’m sure it was to shut me up, but she swears it was because she liked my smile. I can’t imagine that I smiled during my takedown, but she assures me I did. We’ve been together ever since. I know she’s hesitant to make it a permanent thing because her father left her mother when she was only four and nobody in her family has had a successful first marriage. Her mother is on her third marriage and it seems to be working, but I know Amber is worried that she has it in her to be like her mom. I want to change that. I think this princess cut is nice.

    It’s too big and it looks kind of clunky. Look over here. This one is one carat and it’s oval. It would look better on her finger. It’s classier, Stacy says. I point to the diamond and the sales clerk pulls it out of the display case.

    You’re right. It’s perfect. See? I knew I had you here with me for a reason, I say. Stacy beams. She loves
