Anna Keaton: Falke’s Renegade

Dakota gave a thumbs up, and Beth swiped a tear from her eye.

At the top of the steps leading to the lawn stood Javier, and Heidi’s heart skipped a beat. Never had a man looked so gorgeous, so virile, as he did wearing a black-on-black suit and tie.

Both fathers shook his hand, and then Burke passed her hand into Javier’s. His strength, his warmth, seeped into her, and she couldn’t stop smiling.

You’re beautiful , Javier murmured telepathically to which Fridrik responded with Smart boy , making the couple and her siblings chuckle.

“That’s something I’m going to have to get use to,” Javier muttered to her as they moved down the few steps to the lawn where the minister, a family friend, waited under an arch of fall flowers. He’d expected the telepathic link to exist between her and him once they’d mated but had been surprised to learn it extended to her blood relations, even while in human form.

“You’ll adjust,” she whispered back with an amused smirk as they came to a stop between her bridesmaids and Axel and Kelan, who stood approvingly next to Javier.

The rest of her family and friends, those she’d grown up with who never left Leavenworth, and some friends of her fathers’ sat in rented folding chairs on the lawn.

The words of the minister seemed only background noise as she held Javier’s hand. They spoke the words of love, of commitment, and exchanged simple gold bands. And then, when the minister told Javier he could kiss his bride, her husband— husband , she thought, filled with giddiness—lifted her right off her feet and kissed her in a very, very inappropriate manner as applause echoed around them.

As Javier gently set her to her feet, he said, “I love you.”

Heidi grinned and pulled his head down so she could whisper in his ear. “I love you, too...daddy.”

He pulled back to blink at her, then grabbed her up again, swung her in a circle and shouted to the sky.

Laughing, Heidi clung to his neck as tears of happiness dampened her cheeks.

Her life was complete.

Anna Leigh Keaton has been reading and penning romances for as long as she can remember. After she met and married her very own real-life hero, romance took on a whole new meaning. She now knows married life can sizzle, and romance can be erotic—even in her own home.

Madison Layle avoided her childhood chores on the family farm by curling up with books and disappearing into other worlds of fantasy, adventure and romance. With maturity came the love of her own real-life hero (a.k.a. “my darling hubby”), and a real understanding of why her parents locked their bedroom door.

Madison and Anna Leigh write erotic romance both as a team and individually. They’ve consistently been on bestseller lists with their coauthored books, and have won numerous awards together including the 2009 EPPIE Award for Erotic Romance.

The pair first met online through a critique group, a meeting which sparked a strong friendship and a fun partnership. Together, their writing has taken on a spicier flavor, so while their hubbies are off at work, they let their imaginations soar...
