Shameless (47 page)
Authors: Rebecca J. Clark
“I’ll tell you what,” John said, moving closer until his body heat melded with hers. “Rock, scissors, paper. If you win, the dream ends how you want. If I win, the dream ends how I want.”
She sniffed. “But you always win that game.”
He smiled, and moisture rimmed his blue eyes. “Yes, I know.” He peered into Sam’s face. God, how he loved this woman. “How long before Danielle can come home?”
“Our daughter is coming home tomorrow.” She touched his cheek.
Our daughter
, she’d said. He didn’t even try to blink away the stinging in his eyes. “Then I’m coming home tomorrow, too,” he whispered, pulling her into his embrace.
As she wrapped her arms around his neck and drew him down for a kiss, as the audience thundered its approval and applause, John knew his future had arrived. It was everything he’d never thought it could be. And more.

Note from the Author
Have you ever heard authors talk about their “book of the heart”? Well, SHAMELESS is mine. John and Sam’s story was in my head for years; they kept bugging me and talking to me until I finally had to shut them up by writing this book. Thank you so much for reading it. Please tell a friend or consider lending it through your retailer’s lending program. I would also be very grateful if you left an honest review at your online retailer’s website.

About the author
I’ve wanted to write romance novels since I read my first Harlequin Romance at age eleven. When I’m not writing, I work as a personal fitness trainer and group exercise instructor, where I teach Pilates, Zumba® and yoga. I feel very lucky to have not one, but
two
dream jobs: writing and fitness. Other jobs I’ve worked at over the years include portrait artist, marketing director, and graphic designer. But I most enjoy telling people I used to be a hoer (say it out loud, and you’ll know why I get a laugh out of this) in the beautiful tulip fields of Skagit County, Washington.
I live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband, two kids, a German Shepherd beast, two cats who plot to kill the dog, a rat that comes when he’s called (seriously), and a dead gecko (seriously, again). In my free time, I like to read, watch Criminal Minds reruns on TV, and do absolutely nothing.
