Page 109 of His Forgotten Colton Fiancee

Eyes bright with tears, she nodded. “Yes.”

“I can’t promise I’ll tell you everything, Quinn. It won’t be easy.”

“As long as there are no big secrets between us.”

He rose and pulled her up against him. “We’ll have to keep our engagement a secret. There’s still a groom killer running loose.”

“I don’t mind secrets, as long asI’m in on it.”

“I’ll tell you another one. I’m leaving the Bureau.” Gaze steady, he regarded her. “I talked to Finn about a permanent job here in Red Ridge.”

Her breath hitched. “Oh, West. Really? I thought the FBI was your life.”

“I like Red Ridge. Seems like a nice place to settle down.” He grinned. “Quiet, kind of dull...”

Quinn laughed.

“The Bureauwasmy life.” He caughther hand, kissed the knuckles. “But it’s about damn time I paid attention to my heart—you.”

She rubbed his hand against her cheek. “I want children.”

“Two kids.” He held up two fingers. “No more.”

She laughed. “Since I’ll be the one having the babies, I agree.”

“Well, maybe three. Only if the first two are boys. I want a girl.” He slid his arms around her waist and pulled her againsthim. “A little girl with freckles and curls, who looks like my darling Quinn.”

With the Groom Killer still roaming free, West knew they still couldn’t share news of their engagement. It didn’t matter. Eventually he would stand at the altar, watching his woman walk toward him during their wedding. Worth the wait.

Agent West Brand kissed Quinn, the only woman he wanted to love for the restof his life. The bad memories of his past had eased with what waited in store—Quinn Colton eventually becoming his wife.

He had gone from a tragic past he’d wanted desperately to forget.

Toward a bright future he would always want to remember.
