Infinite Love (51 page)

Our Happy Ever After

I stood at Mum’s grave, sixteen years to the day that I’d lost her. So much had changed since in all that time. Except I hadn’t truly lost her, she was still in my heart, still in my soul, I knew I’d always carry a piece of her with me. Today though was the first time that I stood here on this anniversary, without blaming myself, I’d finally been able to forgive myself and let it go. I looked around me with a smile. I was surrounded by my closest family. Dad, Sofia, Ava, the most important person in my life, Mia, then our children, Greyson and Tabitha and of course Mum. She was here with us too and I knew she’d approve, of all of it. Especially of me, of the man that I’d finally become. It had taken me a long time to get here and I hadn’t done it unaided. In fact, two of my closest family were missing, Doug and Lexi. Without all of these people in my life I wouldn’t be standing here now, the proudest husband and father imaginable. I looked over at Mia, she had Greyson and Tabitha balanced on each hip as she giggled and kissed them both repeatedly. Looking at my wife and children made my chest constrict every time, the love I had for them was too big for this body of mine, let alone my heart. I remembered my wedding vows and made myself a promise that I was never going to lose sight of them again.

‘Mianna Page. The sun rises and sets with you and you’re the moon and star light in that void between. You’re the air in my lungs, you control my breathing, the blood in my veins which gives me life and purpose, you power the beat of my heart. You’re the marrow in my bones which helps me stand and make it through the time that we’re apart, and you’re the joy in my soul which makes me love you, and my life with you, more and more each day. I intend to devote every moment of my life making you as happy as you make me. I’m going to love you, cherish you and protect you for the rest of your life, you’re my everything baby, my forever.’

We truly were destined. Mia Austin was my infinite love.

Thank you to all my loyal readers and fans for making it this far with me. I’m always in awe at the reception The Austin Series has received and your words of encouragement have been so rewarding.

Thank you to my three Beta Readers, Amy, Michelle and Pollie, who tested out my first draft and encouraged me to pull back the reigns a little on the angst!

Thank you also to Ella Marie, my new editor, who is starting to get her head around some of the quirky English spellings and expressions!

Ellie Baxter is a twenty-six year old Senior Editor in a Publishing firm, whose relationship is stagnant and she feels unfulfilled and underutilised in her career. Following a shocking discovery, her best friend convinces her to take a month out, to give her time to reassess her life. So she books a month’s retreat in a cute little boat house, situated on an island in the middle of a loch, in a remote part of Scotland. Her intention, to be as far away as humanly possible from any distractions. What she didn't expect was the instant chemistry with the caretaker of the island.
