Just back from the doc. Lindsay’s on bed rest till baby comes.  Need u guys now. Help!

He scanned the message twice. The words baby and help may as well have been in bold with flashing yellow neon. He looked up Shane’s sister.

With her lower lip quivering, Emily shook her head. “I need to go.”

He held his hand out to her. His chest tightened and he struggled to get a full breath. “Come on.”

She paused.

“Together or not we’re still what we are.” He wiggled his fingers.

At last she put her hand in his. “What are we?”

He fished his keys out of his pocket. “Don’t you mean what were we?”

“What were we?” She let him guide her out of the tattoo shop.

He opened the door for her. “Hell if I know.”

About the Author

 

Kim Carmichael began writing nine years ago when her love of happy endings inspired her to create her own.

A Southern California native, Kim's contemporary romance combines Hollywood magic with pop culture to create quirky characters set against some of most unique and colorful settings in the world.

With a weakness for designer purses, bad boys and techno geeks, Kim married her own computer whiz after he proved he could keep her all her gadgets running and finally admitted handbags were an investment.

Kim is a member of the Romance Writers of America, as well as some small specialty chapters.  A multi-published author, Kim's books can be found on Amazon as well as Barnes & Nobel.  From alcohol to makeup to infrared cameras and even scientific lasers studying the atmosphere, Kim has worked in some aspect of sales and marketing for over twenty years.  Her most recent book, Permanent, was selected as a finalist in the Assent Publishing's Great Romance Contest 2013. 

When not writing, she can usually be found slathered in sunscreen trolling Los Angeles and helping top doctors build their practices.
