“Oh, I’ve got a few more goals to hit—including in my other scheduled races,” Catie said, her smile full of mischief. “But there’s one specific dream that I’d like to set in motion today.”

“Oh, what’s that?” the reporter asked.

Catie shifted her gaze. “Hey, hotshot!” she said, meeting Danny’s gaze. “How about it? You and me and a wedding?”

As the entire stadium erupted, Danny cupped his hands around his mouth to yell back, “Yes, Princess!” He thought of the ring burning a hole in his pocket and grinned even harder.

This was her moment, and he’d intended to wait until they were alone and in private so as to let her bask in the spotlight, but if Catie wanted to claim him in front of the world, he wasn’t exactly going to argue. Especially not when he knew what a big deal it was for her to trust him enough to propose in front of millions of people.

It wasn’t that his enthusiastic agreement had ever been in question—that they’d get hitched was a given between them, the proposal a formality. This, the way she’d done it? It was a joyous acknowledgment that she knew he’d always have her back, no matter what or when or where. Catie trusted him to be there for her, trusted him not to hurt her. Most of all, she trusted him to love her. Now and always.

Catie blew him a kiss, her own love ablaze for all the world to see.

I hope you loved Danny and Catie’s story! If you haven’t yet read Gabriel’s, Sailor’s, and Jake’s stories, they are: ROCK HARD, CHERISH HARD, and LOVE HARD. All available at your favorite retailer.
