Into a Dangerous Mind (45 page)
“I should’ve known Anderson was messing with me.”
He turned to Bob and offered his hand.
“I’m very sorry.
I let my jealousy get the better of me.
And I’ve behaved badly.
I hope you’ll forgive me.”
She held up both hands, palm out.
“Did Anderson and Kathy tell you the only man I was seeing now is
BOB
and he’s the guy who’s meeting all my
needs
She emphasized the last making quotation marks in the air using the first two fingers of each hand.
Zach looked at her as if waiting for her to pull another Bob out of the woodwork somewhere.
“And why are you saying Bob like that?”
“Jerry and Bob—out,” she ordered through a stream of laughter-induced tears.
“Zach, let’s do what we should’ve done at the outset.”
Cassidy lowered her shields and held her power in check waiting for Zach’s decision.
Her heart felt about to burst as happiness warmed her.
Zach finally realized life with them apart wasn’t a life he wanted to live.
“Wait ‘til I get a hold of Anderson and Kathy.”
A slow smile softened his features.
And it’s pretty adorable.”
Cassidy grabbed both of Zach’s hands in hers.
BOB
“I plan on keeping you so busy you’ll never need him again.”
I’ve known
BOB
Their powers melded even tighter and the emotions of an entire year flowed between them, healing old wounds and answering old questions.
“Cassidy, I’ve been so stupid.
I love you and I don’t want to live another second without you in my life, or I’ll just be proving Dix right—that I’m a dumb ass.”
It seemed right somehow that Dix be a part of this.
“You don’t know how long I’ve waited for you to admit that.”
He reached into his breast pocket and pulled out his Grandmother’s ring.
Cassidy, my Grandmother told me to give this ring to my true love.
And now that I’ve found you, I humbly ask you to wear it
He slipped the ring onto her finger and leaned his forehead against hers.
And to consider marrying me.
I’ve tried living without you and I never want to again.
My life is empty without you.
”
He took his hand in hers and the psychic energy from the ring flowed into both of them, bringing remnants of Zach’s Grandmother…and of Dix.
Well, what are you two waiting for
From the look on Zach’s face—he’d recognized the voice, too.
“I
’m not waiting any longer, Dix.
Aloud, Cassidy said, “Zach, I’d say we could get married now, but Kathy would never forgive us.”
I’m on my way
As far back as I can remember, I've had a love affair with books. I loved to live vicariously through each character, and dreamed of the day when I'd write my own books. I loved to write and make up stories, a talent which was both loved and hated by many of my English teachers. As I got older, I had teachers encourage me to write, but they admonished me to ‘stop writing the weird stuff and tone down the sarcasm!' But what fun is that?
However, my other love was music, and playing clarinet and saxophone ended up paying my way through college by way of a scholarship. As is often the case, life happened and I didn't get back to writing until 2003, when my husband and son encouraged me to ‘stop talking about it, and go do it!' So, I joined my local Romance Writers of America chapter and poured myself into learning everything I could about writing and publishing, and both the business and creative side of being a writer.
I worked hard, and in ten months wrote INTO A DANGEROUS MIND, and set about the business of submitting and entering contests while I moved on to writing STONE MAIDEN. I entered dozens of contests and rewrote and revised that book several dozen times. I also received tons of great rejections from both agents and editors. Yes - you read right - GREAT rejections. Most of them saying, "we really liked your story, but it has the following weaknesses..." With every one, I refined and rewrote and learned everything I could. Then in October 2004, I received the fateful ‘call.' Okay, it was an email, but thus began one of the best chapters in my life. Since then, I've hit the ground running and never looked back. I also write under the pen name Cassie Ryan.
I currently live in sunny Arizona with my two favorite men--my husband and my son--and our two cats.
