An hour later, Shane proposed in the bedroos he’d taken off his pinky finger “This is just until I can get so made for you, babe But marry me Love me Spend the rest of your life with me—”

“Yes” She didn’t need more than that How could she want more than that?

And then they were ain, and outside the hotel rooan to fall

Epilogue

Three Months Later

They’d had such good intentions to wait, and spend a year enjoying their engage to let Jet finish her school year and Shane sort out the details for his next book which Mark had convinced his publisher they had to buy since it was a fascinating and true story about a Copper Mountain heiress as kicked out of society and forced to provide for herself by beco the first teacher in Montana’s Paradise Valley

There was sobut to be together, and so they decided tothe date not for the cherry trees, which would be in bloom, but rather to honor Shane’s mother, Catherine Cray

Harley and McKenna took Jet shopping for a wedding gown at the pretty little bridal shop, Married in Marietta Jet didn’t care about wedding colors or themes or fancy invitations She just wanted to ive his children—their children—stability, security, as well as lots of adventure and fun

The Sheenans insisted on hosting the reception, saying it was the least they could do, and when Jet sa happy they were to do it, she stopped protesting

On the Thursday before the wedding, the Diekerhofs flew in to Missoula froe and the children arrived in Kalispell And the rest of the Sheenans drove to Cherry Lake There was a huge rehearsal dinner party Friday night and then on Saturday, Harley helped Jet dress for the wedding

“I love seeing you so happy,” Harley said to Jet as she finished attaching Jet’s veil

“He makes me happy,” Jet answered

“He needed you”

“We needed each other,” she corrected

And then it was ti the service It was a beautiful May day The deep blue of shi The cherry orchards were in full bloo happily from white blossom to white blossom Jet felt like one of the bees, her insides buzzed and hummed with happiness She wanted to remember every little detail but she was too excited It was i And then the cere her and people were cheering

Frouitar, and the distinctive beat of a drum

Jet turned in Shane’s arm to look up at him “Why does that sound an awful lot like KISS?”

“Does it?” he replied innocently “Maybe it’s just a cover band?”

“KISS is not playing at our wedding”

And then right on cue, right with the band, Shane began singing, “I was made for lovin’ you baby…”

He drew her across the lawn and into the party tent where dozens of silver antique chandeliers hung suspended over the tables and dance floor Swags of yellow and white flowers draped across the ceiling while the tables were covered in yellow silk hite elass jars held the fresh yellow and white centerpieces

As they entered the tent, one of the band e and handed Shane thefro a crowd around the edge of the dance floor

It was the most ridiculous, wonderful moment of her life

Jet had no idea if this was the real KISS, or a cover band wanting to be KISS, all she kneas that Shane, her love, her heart, was so happy right now singing to her, belting out a rock love song, and for ahair and the beard and he could represent the 70s properly, but then the song finished and he caught her up in his arms and kissed her, the kiss so hot and sexy that she couldn’t think straight, and she was okay with his smooth square jaw and his handsome face and his lips, those lips, that could

“I love you, Shane,” she whispered, fighting tears through her laughter

“And I love you, Mrs Shane Sean Finley Swan Sheenan” He kissed her

Oh, and don’t forget the Cray”

“Won’t ever forget the Cray”

How could they when Catherine Jeanette Cray had been so instruether?
