A Time to Keep (35 page)
Authors: Rochelle Alers
Nash McGraw, who took a plea rather than embarrass his family with a trial, would spend the rest of his life behind bars for the murder of Shelby Carruthers and the attempted murder of Gwendolyn Harper.
James Jameson was elected sheriff of the SMPD.
Ian and Natalee Harper were expecting their firstâtwins.
Augustine Leblanc had asked Moriah to marry him, but she told him she had to think about it. It had been a year since he'd proposed, and she was still thinking about it.
Gwen winked at her mother, who cradled her three-month-old grandson to her chest. A photographer motioned to her to move closer to her husband.
“Here come da judge,”
she whispered softly.
Shiloh lifted his eyebrow in his best Dwayne Johnson
imitation. He looped an arm over her shoulder, the sleeve of his black robe a startling contrast to her oyster-white silk dress.
“Can you
smell
what the judge is cooking?” he whispered before he anchored a finger under her chin and kissed her mouth. He deepened the kiss and cameras and flashbulbs captured the image that would appear in a major daily with the bold headline: ENTRAPMENT!
