The bride and groom were right in the middle of it all, dancing with their siblings and friends and having a generally fantastic time from what he could see. Tonight there had been no sign of the troubling diagnosis that had thrown them for a loop. Tonight had been all about celebration.
“It was a beautiful wedding,” Linda said.
“They’re a beautiful couple.”
“Look at them all. They’re incredible. Every single one of them—the ones we gave birth to and the ones we’ve picked up along the way.”
“They certainly are.” He took advantage of the opportunity to kiss her. “I can’t wait to see what the next forty years brings.”
“Neither can I.”
With his arms around her, Big Mac drew her into his embrace, looking forward to everything still to come with his own bride.
I hope you enjoyed
Celebration After Dark
and the look back at how Mac and Linda came to be. If you wondered where the McCarthy boys came by their formidable charm, you probably aren’t wondering anymore. I loved writing Mac and Linda’s story and looking back to before the marina and the hotel were successful businesses. Everyone starts somewhere, and they were no different.

Desire After Dark
, Slim and Erin’s story…
Tobias “Slim” Jackson has the perfect life as a pilot on Gansett Island in the summer and in Florida in the winter. He’s happiest when he’s in the air, or at least that was the case before last summer when he met Erin Barton, Gansett Island’s newest lighthouse keeper. Now he can’t seem to find his usual enthusiasm for flying, winter in the sunny South or anything that doesn’t include her.
Erin has been stuck on pause since she lost her twin brother. She’ll tell you herself that her life has been a hot mess since Toby died. After dropping out of law school, she’s flitted from one pointless job to another, existing rather than truly living. Then she comes to Gansett Island to take over as the new lighthouse keeper and meets Slim, who happens to share her beloved brother’s first name. That small coincidence is enough to convince Erin that she needs to spend more time with the dashing pilot—except for the fact that he’s spending the winter more than a thousand miles from her.
Now Slim’s come home to Gansett for the holidays and to hopefully pick up where he left off with Erin. He’s got twelve days before he’s due back in Florida to finish out the remainder of his winter obligations. A lot can happen in twelve days, but will it be enough to convince Erin that it’s time to start truly living again? Read Slim and Erin’s story and catch up with the rest of the Gansett Island cast in
