Allen Securities 04 - Ryder Page 13


  She nodded to the door, and he followed her out onto the porch. He stopped behind her as they stared out at the serene white beauty.

  “Things are going well,” he said quietly in her ear. “I think Jess and her father might actually have a relationship after this,” she said.

  He nodded.

  Irene turned in his arms and looked up at him.

  “I’ve been thinking,” she said. Her cheeks tinted pink, and she glanced away. “Taylor is graduating here soon and moving. How would you feel about moving in?”

  She nibbled her lower lip.

  Ryder grinned. “I’d love to.”

  Irene looked up with surprise. “You don’t think it’s too soon?”

  “Baby, I’d marry you tomorrow if I didn’t think you’d freak.”

  Irene stared up at him in shock.

  “Don’t let your mother hear that,” Jess said from the door. “She’ll have the wedding planned before you can even run off to elope.”

  Ryder grinned. “Maybe I should just tell her and let things happen from there.”

  Irene frowned. “You do, and you’ll be a very lonely man in the future.”

  Ryder sat back up. “Right, let’s just trying moving in together then.”

  Irene grinned.

  “Oh,” Kace said. He moved to stand by Jess. “I heard that radio host talking about your cookies again.”

  Ryder frowned. “More Ex-Boyfriend cookies?”

  Irene shook her head. “Boyfriend cookies.”

  Author Bio

  Madison currently lives with her husband and two children in the Valley of the Sun in Arizona. After leaving the frozen tundra of the north, she was more surprised than anyone with how much she has enjoyed living in the desert. Seeing as she stated on more than one occasion before moving to Arizona how much she hated heat, it was an odd move, but it seems her hatred for sub-zero temperatures and ice has won out in the end.

  When she’s not writing, she’s enjoying time with her family. Madison and her family frequent festivals in the area, as well as local cultural events, and spend time with family in the area. In the summer, she is most likely to be found in the pool with the family and in the winter by the fireplace. Since both her children are autistic, days can be a little chaotic, but with her husband beside her, there’s nothing she can’t handle.

  Madison has a full schedule of releases planned for 2014 listed and updated on her blog: http://madisonstevensauthor.com/
