With happiness coursing through her, Celia sat up and stared at him. “You’re serious?”

“I’ve never been more serious in my life.”

Cameron’s response stunned her into silence. She wanted nothing more than to remain on Solitaire with him, but she wondered why he’d undergone yet another change of heart.

He grasped her shoulders, then slid his hands down the length of her arms. She responded to his touch with a shiver of pleasure, an echo of what they’d just shared.

“If you remain on Solitaire,” he said, “it must be because you love me. I couldn’t bear having you here if you didn’t return my love.”

She lifted her lips to his once more, then after a long moment pulled away. “I do love you, Cameron, and I will marry you.”

He pulled her down beside him, sculpting his body to hers like nesting spoons. “Sleep well, Celia. We have much to do tomorrow.”

In the warm shelter of his arms she fell instantly asleep.

Had she known what the future held for her, she wouldn’t have slept at all.
